Try It Out!

This n8n template demonstrates how to use Reka Vision to automatically generate a customized video clip from a YouTube video using AI. The workflow keeps you informed by sending an email when the work is done, ready to be published on social!

How it works
Looking at the RSS feed of a YouTube channel, the flow will be triggered when there is a new video published.
Using Reka's API, we will submit a request for creating a clip using AI. You can customize:
the template used
the prompt to generate the clip
if you want captions or not
the minimum or maximum duration of the clip
Wait a little while, the magic happens
Check if the job status is completed
If yes, it send an success email
if no, it will loop
Implement best practices with a failsafe after 10 iterations in the loop; it will send an error email

Gettting Started
