Autonomous Multi-Platform Video Generation System with n8n

Details

Uncle Kam Media is a financial education platform creating content about tax strategies, business formation, and wealth building for entrepreneurs. They needed to scale their social media presence across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts without expanding their production team. AutoFlow Labs engineered a fully autonomous video generation system that transforms blog articles into platform-ready social videos using AI-orchestrated workflows, eliminating manual editing and reducing production time from hours to minutes.

Problem

Uncle Kam Media's content team spent 3-4 hours manually creating each short-form video, limiting them to 2-3 posts per week across all platforms. The manual process involved scriptwriting, sourcing or creating 10 unique visuals per video, recording voiceovers, video editing in Adobe Premiere, adding captions, exporting multiple formats, and uploading to each platform separately. This bottleneck prevented them from capitalizing on trending topics and maintaining consistent daily posting, directly impacting their growth potential. Their small team couldn't scale content production without hiring additional editors, and outsourcing maintained the same time delays while adding coordination overhead.

Goal

Develop an end-to-end automated system that could transform written blog content into fully produced, platform-optimized vertical videos (9:16 format) in under 5 minutes with zero human intervention. The system needed to generate script-specific visuals, create professional AI voiceovers, synchronize all assets into a cohesive narrative, and automatically distribute finished videos to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. It had to maintain brand consistency, follow the proven "Hormozi-style" content structure, and produce videos that performed as well as or better than manually created content. Above all, the workflow needed to run reliably 24/7 without requiring the team to monitor or troubleshoot.

Role & Responsibility

As Lead Automation Architect at AutoFlow Labs, we mapped Uncle Kam Media's entire video production workflow and identified four critical automation opportunities: content generation, asset creation, video rendering, and multi-platform distribution. I designed a sophisticated n8n workflow integrating six different AI services and APIs into a single orchestrated system. The architecture included building custom AI agents using Anthropic Claude and OpenAI to analyze scripts and generate 10 contextually relevant image prompts that precisely matched each video segment, configuring Runway ML integration to convert static images into dynamic video clips with controlled motion, implementing Google Drive as the central asset repository with automated permission management, integrating ElevenLabs for natural-sounding voiceover generation with emotion and pacing control, connecting the Creatomate rendering engine to composite all assets into a professional 9:16 video with precise timing, and building the multi-platform distribution system to simultaneously publish to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. I implemented intelligent retry logic and status checking mechanisms to handle API rate limits and ensure every video renders successfully. The system includes automated error notifications via Slack and maintains detailed logs of every video produced. I documented the complete workflow architecture and trained the team on monitoring dashboards, allowing them to track production metrics and make minor adjustments without touching the underlying automation.
