YouTube Video Automation Workflow

This repository contains an automated YouTube content creation pipeline built using n8n. The workflow handles idea generation, content planning, prompt creation, video assembly, and publishing — all with minimal manual intervention.

📌 Overview

This workflow is designed to:

1. Generate content ideas automatically on a schedule.

2. Plan and store ideas in a Google Sheet for tracking.

3. Format prompts for media generation.

4. Create and assemble video clips with sounds.

5. Upload the final video to YouTube and log it back to the sheet.

The process is fully automated using:

1. OpenAI Chat Models for idea generation and planning.

2. Wavespeed API for video clip creation.

3. FAL API for sound generation and video sequencing.

4. Google Sheets for logging ideas and outputs.

5. YouTube Upload API for publishing.
