Transform Images into AI Videos with MiniMax Hailuo 02 & Upload to YouTube/TikTok

This automated workflow takes a static image and a textual prompt and transforms them into an animated video using the MiniMax Hailuo 02 model. It then uploads the generated video to YouTube and TikTok , and updates a Google Sheet with relevant links and metadata.

Benefits of This Workflow

• Fully Automated Pipeline : From prompt to video to social media publication — all without manual intervention.
• Scalable Content Creation : Generate and distribute dozens of videos per hour with minimal human input.
• Cross-Platform Posting : Automatically pushes content to YouTube and TikTok simultaneously.
• SEO Optimization : Uses AI to generate catchy, keyword-rich video titles that improve visibility.
• Easy Integration : Based on Google Sheets for input/output, making it accessible to non-technical users.
• Time-Efficient : Batch-processing enabled with scheduled runs every few minutes.
• Customizable Duration : Video duration can be adjusted (default is 6 seconds).

How It Works

1. Trigger & Data Fetching :

   • The workflow starts either manually or via a scheduled trigger (eg, every 5 minutes).
   • It checks a Google Sheet for new entries where the "VIDEO" column is empty, indicating pending video generation tasks.

2. Video Creation :

   • For each entry, the workflow extracts the image URL and prompt from the Google Sheet.
   • It sends these inputs to the MiniMax Hailuo 02 to generate a video. The API processes the image and prompt, optimizes the prompt, and creates a short video (default: 6 seconds).

3. Status Monitoring :

   • The workflow polls the API every 60 seconds to check if the video is COMPLETED .
   • Once ready, it retrieves the video URL and uploads the file to Google Drive .

4. YouTube & TikTok Upload :

   • The video is sent to YouTube and TikTok via the Upload-Post.com API (The free plan allows uploads to all platforms except TikTok. To enable, upgrade to a paid plan.).
   • A GPT-generated SEO-optimized title is created for the video.
   • The Google Sheet is updated with the video URL and YouTube link.

Setup Steps

1. Google Sheet Setup :

   • Create a Google Sheet with columns: IMAGE (input image URL), PROMPT (video description), VIDEO (auto-filled), and YOUTUBE_URL (auto-filled).
   • Link the sheet to the workflow using the Google Sheets node .

2. API Keys :

   • Obtain a fal.run API key (for MiniMax Hailuo) and configure the "Authorization" header in the "Create video" node.
   • Get an Upload-Post.com API key (10 free uploads/month) and set it in the "Upload on YouTube/TikTok" nodes.

3. Workflow Configuration :

   • Replace YOUR_USERNAME in the Upload-Post nodes with your profile name (eg, "test1").
   • Adjust the video duration (6 or 10 seconds) in the "Create video" node.
   • Set the Schedule Trigger interval (eg, 5 minutes) to automate checks for new tasks.

4. Execution :

   • Run the workflow manually or let the scheduler process new rows automatically.
   • The system handles video generation, uploads, and Google Sheet updates end-to-end.
