AI Clip Factory (n8n)

 – Automated Short-Form Video Generation & Social Media Distribution System

Turn your long videos into viral short-form clips — completely hands-free — with The AI Clip Factory, a full-scale n8n automation system that powers YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram growth on autopilot.

This intelligent workflow uses AI video intelligence, automatic clipping, and multi-platform publishing to convert long podcasts, webinars, or educational videos into scroll-stopping clips with captions, thumbnails, and hashtags — 100% automatically.

It’s built for agencies, creators, and content teams who want to scale short-form video output without editors or manual work.

How It Works

1. Video Intake (Google Drive or YouTube Link)
   Upload or paste a video link into your connected Google Sheet or Google Drive folder. The system detects new uploads and instantly starts processing.

2. AI Scene Detection & Timestamp Extraction
   Using Gemini Vision / Whisper API, the system analyzes your video, detects key highlights, and extracts timestamps of the most engaging segments automatically.

3. AI Clipping & Subtitles (Shotstack / FFmpeg)
   Each identified segment is auto-trimmed, formatted in 9:16 aspect ratio, and enhanced with subtitles and transitions for social media readiness.

4. Thumbnail & Hashtag Generation (GPT-4o)
   GPT-4 generates catchy titles, keywords, and hashtags for every clip, optimizing engagement and SEO.

5. Social Media Publishing (Blotato / Meta / YouTube APIs)
   Finished clips are uploaded across platforms (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook) with pre-written captions and hashtags.

6. Tracking & Analytics (Google Sheets)
   Every published clip’s link, title, and performance metrics are logged automatically into your connected spreadsheet for review.
