Short Video Maker

Automate the Full Short-Video Pipeline from Idea to Publishing

Short Video Maker is an n8n workflow designed for teams and creators who want a faster, more structured, and more repeatable way to produce short-form videos. It combines idea generation, AI-powered content creation, asset production, video rendering, and YouTube publishing into one connected workflow so users can manage the full process from a single automation system.
Short Video Maker uses a staged production flow that helps organize short-video creation into clear steps. It generates new ideas, stores them in a tracking sheet, turns selected ideas into complete short videos using AI-generated assets, and then publishes finished videos automatically based on workflow status and schedule logic.

Built for Content Systems That Need Structure and Scale

Short Video Maker is especially useful for creators, content brands, automation builders, and media teams that want to produce short videos more consistently without managing every step manually. Whether the goal is educational shorts, historical storytelling, niche content series, or automated publishing pipelines, the workflow helps reduce production friction and create a more scalable content process.

With Short Video Maker, users can:

• Generate new short-video ideas automatically in batches
• Store and organize ideas in a structured Google Sheets workflow tracker
• Create titles, captions, narration scripts, and image prompts with AI
• Generate narration audio and visual assets for each video automatically
• Render final short videos using a connected JSON2Video template
• Publish completed videos to YouTube and update publishing status automatically

Designed Around a Clear Production Workflow

The workflow is built around three practical stages: idea generation, video creation, and publishing. This makes it easier to manage short-form content as an organized pipeline instead of a collection of disconnected manual tasks. By using Google Sheets as the central tracking layer and Google Drive as the asset storage layer, the workflow keeps every content item connected to its production and publishing state.

Less Manual Work, More Repeatable Output

Short Video Maker helps users move faster by automating the most repetitive parts of short-video production. Instead of manually creating ideas, writing content, generating assets, rendering videos, and uploading them one by one, users can run a workflow that handles those steps in sequence. The result is a more efficient short-video pipeline, more consistent output, and a workflow that can be adapted to different niches over time.
