Free n8n Workflow – Create AI Shorts for YouTube & TikTok 🎥✨
Want to make short videos for YouTube and TikTok without spending a cent?
This free n8n template does it all for you – from story idea to published video – fully automated with free tools and APIs.
Here’s what it can do:
🔹 Brainstorm a story idea
🔹 Write a script for your short
🔹 Turn the script into a voiceover with natural speech
🔹 Generate background music from a simple text prompt
🔹 Create images that match your story
🔹 Put it all together – voice, music, and visuals into one polished video
🔹 Add a title & description
🔹 Auto-upload to YouTube
👉 And the best part? You stay in control with Telegram approvals:
First, you’ll get the script – you can approve or decline it.
Then, you’ll see the images – don’t like one (or a few)? Just decline, and new ones will be generated.
Once you reply with “pics ok”, the workflow finishes the video and publishes it. 🚀
