Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of creating high-quality video content quickly and cost-effectively. It automates the process of generating videos using AI avatars and voices from text inputs, allowing users to focus on content creation rather than technical video production.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks ‘Test workflow’.
    2. Configuration: The workflow sets up necessary parameters, including the Avatar ID, Voice ID, and the Text to be spoken in the video.
    3. Create Video: An HTTP request is sent to the HeyGen API to generate the video based on the provided inputs.
    4. Wait Node: The workflow pauses for 10 seconds to allow for video processing.
    5. Get Video Status: After the wait, it checks the status of the generated video using another API request.
    6. Conditional Check: If the video status is marked as completed, it proceeds to output the video URL. If not, it loops back to check again after waiting.
