Automated news video generation with HeyGen AI, Apify, and GPT-4.1 Mini
Overview This n8n workflow automates the creation of AI-generated news recap videos using HeyGen's avatar technology. The template scrapes daily newsletter content, uses AI to generate engaging scripts, and produces professional video summaries with synthetic avatars and voices—all without manual intervention. Use Cases Daily News Digests: Automatically convert Morning Brew or similar newsletters into short-form video content for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Content Repurposing: Transform written blog posts, articles, or reports into engaging video summaries for broader audience reach. Automated Social Media Content: Schedule daily video updates for your audience without recording equipment or on-camera presence. How It Works The workflow operates in three main stages: Stage 1 - Content Acquisition: The Apify Web Scraper node fetches the latest newsletter content from Morning Brew, extracting markdown-formatted text for processing. Stage 2 - Script Generation: An AI agent powered by GPT-4 analyzes the content and creates a concise 40-60 word script highlighting the top 2-4 stories in an engaging, conversational tone perfect for short-form video. Stage 3 - Video Production: The script is sent to HeyGen's API, which generates a video featuring your custom AI avatar delivering the content. The workflow includes intelligent polling to check video completion status before proceeding. Customization Options Avatar & Voice Selection: Use the "Get Avatars" and "Get Voices" nodes to browse available options and customize your video presenter Content Source: Modify the News Scraper node URL to pull from any website or RSS feed Script Style: Adjust the AI prompt in the Script Writer node to change tone, length, or focus areas Video Dimensions: Configure aspect ratios (landscape, portrait, square) for different platforms Prerequisites HeyGen API key (for video generation) OpenRouter API key (for AI script writing) Apify token (for web scraping) --- 🛠️ Setup Guide Author: Jadai Kongolo Follow these steps to configure your HeyGen + n8n automation workflow: Go to HeyGen, create your AI avatar and voice. You can import your ElevenLabs voice clone, or let HeyGen clone your voice automatically. Connect your HeyGen API key to the following nodes: Generate Video Get Video Get Avatars Get Voices If you want to test out the "Create video with polling" flow: Connect your OpenRouter API key. Connect your Apify token in the node called News. Make sure all credentials are properly stored and referenced in your environment or credentials store for best security and reuse. --- Recommended Node Renaming for Clarity To improve workflow readability, consider renaming these nodes: | Current Name | Suggested Name | Purpose | |--------------|----------------|---------| | News | Scrape Morning Brew Newsletter | Fetches newsletter content | | Script Writer | AI Script Generator | Creates video script from content | | Generate Video1 | HeyGen Video Creation | Initiates video generation | | Get Video1 | Check Video Status | Polls for video completion | | 30 Seconds | Wait for Video Processing | Initial wait period | | If | Check if Video Complete | Validates completion status | | Wait | Retry Video Status Check | Waits before re-polling |
Generate animal battle videos with Flux AI, Creatomate & multi-platform publishing
Author: Jadai Kongolo Overview This comprehensive n8n workflow automates the entire production pipeline for creating viral "versus" style battle videos. The system generates dramatic AI-powered fight scenes between animals (or any characters you choose), complete with photorealistic imagery, cinematic effects, and automatic multi-platform publishing. Perfect for content creators looking to generate engaging short-form content at scale without manual editing or design work. Use Cases Viral Social Media Content: Automatically produce trending "X vs Y" battle videos that perform exceptionally well on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. These comparison-style videos consistently generate high engagement and shares. Educational Entertainment: Create visually stunning educational content comparing animals, historical figures, sports teams, or any competitive matchups while maintaining viewer interest through dramatic AI-generated imagery. Automated Content Pipeline: Build a hands-free content factory that can produce multiple videos per day on schedule, complete with automatic posting to all major social platforms through integrated social media management tools. 👉 check out the UGC version of this here How It Works Stage 1 - Scene Generation The workflow begins by fetching a main character from your Google Sheets database (filtered by "To Do" status). An AI agent powered by GPT-4.1-mini then generates eight unique opponents from your specified category, ensuring each comes from a different environment or background for maximum variety and interest. Stage 2 - AI Image Creation The system creates three distinct types of images for each matchup: Close-Up Portraits: Generates fierce, intimidating close-up shots of both the main character and each opponent using Flux image generation through PiAPI. The AI creates hyper-realistic, photorealistic images showing each character roaring with detailed textures, dramatic lighting, and threatening expressions. Battle Aftermath Scenes: A separate AI agent determines the realistic winner based on each character's strengths, then generates a dramatic full-body scene showing the victor standing dominantly over the defeated opponent. These images include visible battle scars, wounds, and cinematic composition that makes the outcome unmistakably clear. The workflow includes intelligent polling mechanisms (90-second waits) to ensure all images are fully generated before proceeding, then aggregates and stores all image URLs in your Google Sheet for reference. Stage 3 - Video Assembly Using Creatomate's video rendering API, the workflow combines all generated images with background music and animated transitions into a polished final video. The template creates a fast-paced montage showing all eight battles with "VS" graphics and dynamic cuts timed to music beats. Stage 4 - Multi-Platform Publishing Once rendered, the video is automatically uploaded to Blotato's social media management platform and simultaneously published to: Instagram Reels with optimized captions TikTok with proper AI-generated content disclosure YouTube Shorts as unlisted for review The workflow updates your Google Sheet with "Created" status and final video URL for tracking and analytics. Customization Options Content Themes Modify the Google Sheet to change from animals to any category: superheroes, historical warriors, vehicles, mythical creatures, sports teams, etc. Adjust AI prompts in the "Scene Creator" node to control opponent selection criteria Edit the "Image Prompt Generator" to customize visual style (fantasy, sci-fi, realistic, cartoon, etc.) Video Production Change video dimensions in "Generate Close Ups" and "Generate Scene" nodes for different platform requirements Replace the Creatomate template with your own design for different visual styles Swap background music by updating the music source URL in the "Render Video" node Adjust the number of battles per video (currently 8 scenes) Publishing Settings Configure posting schedules via the Schedule Trigger node Modify platform-specific settings (privacy levels, comments, duets) in Instagram/TikTok/YouTube nodes Add or remove social platforms by connecting additional Blotato API endpoints Customize captions using data from your Google Sheet AI Models Switch between different OpenRouter models for cost/quality tradeoffs Use GPT-4.1 for complex winner determination and GPT-4.1-mini for faster scene generation Experiment with different Flux models through PiAPI for various artistic styles Prerequisites Google Sheets: Connected Google account with access to the workflow template OpenRouter API: For GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1-mini access PiAPI Account: For Flux image generation (use referral code for bonus credits) Creatomate Account: For video rendering with template access Blotato Account: For multi-platform social media publishing (use promo code "NATE30" for 30% off for 6 months) --- 🛠️ Setup Guide Make a copy of this Google Sheet Template and connect it to the five Google Sheet nodes in the workflow: Get Main Character Add Close Ups Add Winner Get Elements Update Video Status Connect your OpenRouter API key to the two OpenRouter nodes in the "Output Parser & Chat Models" section: GPT 4.1-mini GPT 4.1 Create a PiAPI account and connect your API key to: Generate Close Ups Generate Scene Get Close Ups Get Winners Create a Creatomate account and connect your template ID and API key to the Render Video node.
