Overview
This node provides various ffmpeg-related functionalities, including video processing tasks. Specifically, the "Combine Images" operation under the "Video Processing" resource allows users to create a video by combining multiple images sequentially. Each image is displayed for a specified duration, effectively generating a slideshow or video montage from a list of image URLs.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Creating video slideshows from a set of photos.
- Generating preview videos or animated sequences from static images.
- Automating video content creation workflows that require image combination.
For example, a user can input a list of image URLs and specify how long each image should appear in the resulting video. The node then processes these inputs to produce a combined video output.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Images Url List | A valid list of image URLs to be combined into a video sequence. |
| Images Duration | The duration (in seconds) each image will be displayed in the output video. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the video processing operation. This typically includes metadata about the generated video file. If binary data output is supported, it would contain the combined video file as a binary stream suitable for further use or download.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for accessing the underlying ffmpeg service.
- Relies on external ffmpeg functionality exposed via an API endpoint configured in n8n credentials.
- Network access to the provided image URLs is necessary for fetching the images.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Image URLs: Ensure all URLs in the "Images Url List" are accessible and point to valid image files. Inaccessible or invalid URLs may cause the operation to fail.
- Incorrect Duration Format: The "Images Duration" should be a valid number (string representing seconds). Non-numeric or zero values might lead to errors or unexpected behavior.
- API Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Timeouts or Network Issues: Large image lists or slow network connections may cause timeouts. Consider reducing the number of images or checking network stability.
