<p></p><h2>Introduction</h2><p>In the age of video-first platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, <strong>video content reigns supreme</strong>. But producing high-quality, engaging videos consistently can be time-consuming — unless you automate the process.</p><p>In this guide, we’ll walk through how to use <strong>Seedance</strong>, a cutting-edge AI video generator, together with <strong>n8n</strong>, a powerful workflow automation tool, to fully automate video creation. We’ll integrate Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Wave Speed AI API to build a smart, end-to-end video pipeline.</p><hr><h2>What is Seedance?</h2><p><strong>Seedance 1.0</strong> is an advanced AI model designed for <strong>text-to-video</strong> and <strong>image-to-video</strong> generation. It supports:</p><ul><li><p>Up to <strong>10 seconds</strong> of full HD (1080p) video output</p></li><li><p>Customizable aspect ratios: <strong>9:16</strong>, <strong>1:1</strong>, and more</p></li><li><p>Smooth multi-shot transitions and cinematic motion</p></li></ul><p>It’s particularly useful for creators, marketers, and businesses who want to generate content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — without manual editing.</p><hr><h2>Overview: Automating the Workflow with n8n</h2><p>We’ll use the <strong>Wave Speed AI API</strong> to access Seedance from n8n. Our workflow will:</p><ul><li><p>Fetch service data from Google Sheets</p></li><li><p>Generate prompts with OpenAI</p></li><li><p>Send prompts to Seedance via API</p></li><li><p>Wait for video output and save to Google Drive</p></li></ul><hr><h2>🛠️ Step-by-Step Workflow</h2><h3>Step 1: Prepare Your Data</h3><p>Start with a <strong>Google Sheet</strong> listing your content themes. In this example, we’ll use a beauty salon’s service list:<br><code>Hair coloring, hair ironing, full highlights, etc.</code></p><p>Each row will serve as a seed for a different video.</p><hr><h3>Step 2: Build the Workflow in n8n</h3><h4>🔹 Trigger the Workflow</h4><p>Use a <strong>Trigger Node</strong> to run the workflow manually or on a schedule (e.g., daily).</p><h4>🔹 Fetch Service Data</h4><p>Use the <strong>Google Sheets Node</strong> to retrieve the service list.</p><h4>🔹 Random Selection</h4><p>Add a <strong>Code Node</strong> to randomly pick one service from the sheet.</p><h4>🔹 Generate a Prompt</h4><p>Send the selected service to <strong>OpenAI API</strong> to craft a concise video prompt (within Seedance’s 500-character limit).</p><h4>🔹 Save Prompt for Reference</h4><p>Store the generated prompt in a second Google Sheet for tracking and auditing.</p><hr><h3>Step 3: Generate the Video via Seedance</h3><h4>🔹 Send Prompt to Seedance</h4><p>Use an <strong>HTTP Request Node</strong> to send the prompt to Seedance via <strong>Wave Speed AI API</strong>, including auth headers.</p><h4>🔹 Wait for Processing</h4><p>Add a <strong>Wait Node</strong> to pause for ~3 minutes (typical processing time).</p><h4>🔹 Check Generation Status</h4><p>Use a <strong>Conditional Node</strong> to poll the status. If incomplete, wait another 3 minutes and retry.</p><h4>🔹 Retrieve the Video</h4><p>Once the video is ready, make another HTTP request to fetch the video file.</p><hr><h3>Step 4: Save and Organize the Output</h3><h4>🔹 Upload to Google Drive</h4><p>Use the <strong>Google Drive Node</strong> to upload the final video. Name files using timestamps to avoid conflicts.</p><h4>🔹 Final Review (Optional)</h4><p>Manually check the output to see if the prompt logic needs refinement.</p><hr><h2>✅ Benefits of Automating with Seedance + n8n</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Zero manual editing</strong> required</p></li><li><p><strong>Scalable</strong> for social media, product showcases, or service explainers</p></li><li><p><strong>Repeatable and consistent</strong> results</p></li><li><p>Integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace, APIs, and AI tools</p></li><li><p>Saves time while maintaining quality and brand consistency</p></li></ul><hr><h2>Use Case Example: Salon Video Generator</h2><p>Imagine a salon in Dubai wanting to showcase its services on Instagram.
