Convert Form Inputs to Cinematic Videos with GPT-4, Dumpling AI & ElevenLabs Audio

Description

📽️ What this workflow does

This workflow turns a user-submitted form with country or animal names into a cinematic video with animated scenes and immersive ambient audio. Using GPT-4 for prompt generation, Dumpling AI for visual creation,& Replicate for motion animation, ElevenLabs for sound generation, and Creatomate for video stitching, it fully automates video production — from raw idea to rendered file.

🎯 What problem is this solving?

Creating engaging multimedia content can take hours. This workflow automates the entire process of ideation, design, and rendering of high-quality cinematic clips, eliminating the need for manual video editing or audio production.

✅ Step 2: Google Drive
Create two folders:
One for ambient audio tracks
One for final generated videos
Update the folder IDs in both Google Drive nodes.

✅ Step 3: Credentials Setup
Make sure all your API tokens are saved as credentials in n8n.
This workflow uses the following integrations:

OpenAI (GPT-4)
Dumpling AI (via HTTP header)
Replicate.com
ElevenLabs
Google Drive
Google Sheets
Creatomate

✅ Step 4: Form Fields
Ensure your trigger form includes these fields:
Title
Country 1, Country 2, Country 3, Country 4
Style (e.g., cinematic, epic, fantasy, noir, etc.)

🧩 How it works

User Form Submission
Kicks off the workflow with the required inputs.

Format Inputs
Combines all 4 countries/animals into a single array.

GPT-4: Generate Visual Prompts
Uses GPT-4 to create rich cinematic descriptions per animal/country.

Dumpling AI: Create Images
Each description becomes a high-quality visual.

GPT-4: Create Motion Prompts
Each image prompt is rewritten into motion-based video prompts.

Replicate: Animate
Prompts and images are sent to Replicate’s model for animation.

GPT-4: Generate Sound Prompt
Based on the style, GPT-4 creates an ambient sound idea.

ElevenLabs: Create Ambient Audio
Audio is generated and uploaded to Google Drive.

Creatomate: Stitch All Media
All 4 motion videos and the audio track are stitched into one cinematic output.

Upload to Google Drive + Log to Sheet
Final video is saved in Drive and logged in Sheets with its title and link.

🛠️ How to Customize

🎨 Modify GPT prompts for different themes (e.g., horror, fantasy, sci-fi).
🧠 Swap animals for characters, objects, or locations.
🎧 Replace ambient sound with ElevenLabs voiceovers or music.
