n8n-nodes-faceless-video

An n8n community node for the Faceless Video API — turn a script (a
list of segments) into a captioned, voiced short video (9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 MP4) in one
node, ready to auto-post from your n8n workflows.

Installation

Follow the community nodes installation guide,
or in the n8n UI: Settings → Community Nodes → Install n8n-nodes-faceless-video.

Credentials

Need an API key? The API is in free beta — request a beta key here. Keys are manually approved.

Create a Faceless Video API credential:

• Base URL — the hosted beta https://faceless-video-api.onrender.com (default), or your own URL if you self-host.
• API Key — the x-api-key from your beta approval (or your self-hosted key).

Use the credential's Test button to verify the connection.

Operations

Video → Generate

Enqueue a render. Add one or more Segments (each has Text and an optional Image
URL), pick a Voice and Aspect Ratio (9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9), and optionally set a
Callback URL.

• Wait for Completion (default on): the node polls until the render is done and returns
  the final url. Turn it off to return immediately with a job_id (status: "queued").

Video → Get Result

Fetch a job by Job ID. Returns { job_id, status, url?, error? }
(status: queued | processing | done | failed).

Example workflow

Script → faceless video. A Manual Trigger feeds three script segments into the node; with
Wait for Completion on, the node returns the finished MP4 url. Paste this into n8n
(Workflows → Import from File / clipboard) and set the Faceless Video API credential:

{
  "name": "Script → Faceless Video",
  "nodes": [
    {
      "parameters": {},
      "name": "When clicking 'Execute workflow'",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [240, 320]
    },
    {
      "parameters": {
        "operation": "generate",
        "segments": {
          "segment": [
            { "text": "Did you know honey never spoils?" },
            {
              "text": "Archaeologists found 3000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs, still edible."
            },
            { "text": "Its low moisture and acidity stop bacteria cold." }
          ]
        },
        "voice": "alloy",
        "aspect": "9:16",
        "waitForCompletion": true
      },
      "name": "Faceless Video",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-faceless-video.facelessVideo",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [480, 320]
    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "When clicking 'Execute workflow'": {
      "main": [[{ "node": "Faceless Video", "type": "main", "index": 0 }]]
    }
  }
}

The Faceless Video node outputs:

{
  "job_id": "…",
  "status": "done",
  "url": "https://your-app.onrender.com/files/<id>.mp4"
}

Add a download / upload node after it (e.g. HTTP Request, or a YouTube/TikTok node) to
auto-post the result. To return immediately with a job_id instead of waiting, turn off
Wait for Completion and poll later with Get Result.

Compatibility

Tested against n8n's current community-node API (n8nNodesApiVersion: 1). Requires a running
Faceless Video API instance.
