Automate Video Editing with n8n

Combine n8n and FFmpeg Micro to build end-to-end video automation workflows without managing FFmpeg servers. Trigger renders from any node, pass data into templates, and send finished files anywhere you need.

Example workflows

  • Generate social clips whenever a new podcast episode is published, then post to YouTube Shorts and TikTok automatically.
  • Turn new rows in Airtable or Google Sheets into personalized video ads with dynamic text, overlays, and aspect ratios.
  • Watch a cloud storage folder for new source videos, render branded versions in multiple formats, and upload to your CMS or storage bucket.

In n8n, FFmpeg Micro is just another HTTP node. You control inputs like text, timing, overlays, and encoding settings, and FFmpeg Micro handles the heavy video processing in the background.
