n8n automation of photo processing and video generation of products/goods for online stores
Goal:
Creating professional visual content (photo+video) for products without manual processing in order to:
- Simplify and speed up the preparation of materials for online stores,
- Reduce costs for photo studios and designers,
- Increase conversions through high-quality content.
Scope of application:
- Online stores — for product cards.
- Marketplaces (Ozon, Wildberries, etc.) — attractive photos/videos increase sales.
- Social media and advertising — ready-made content for stories, posts and targets.
- Small business — when there is no budget for professional photography.
How does the process work?
- User fills out the form:
Uploads an image of the product, provides its name and description. - The image is saved to Google Drive
It needs to be able to be processed further. - AI analyzes the product and description
Based on the text, a special prompt is created to generate an image using AI. - OpenAI edits the image
A powerful model is used to create an improved, realistic advertising image. - The finished image is uploaded to the hosting
To get a direct link. - Runway generates video from picture
A short video is created with a smooth rotation of the product, as in an advertisement. - Checking video readiness and waiting
The system is waiting for the video to be fully processed. - Telegram gets a link to videos and photos
The client or manager receives the result via chat.
What do you get in the end?
- Improved product photography
- Professionally generated video
- A ready-made link to Telegram
