Automate Cloudinary Image-to-Video Workflows with n8n

Описание и применение

Автоматизируйте преобразование изображений в видео с помощью n8n и Cloudinary: триггер на загрузку, проверка тегов и подсказки, асинхронная генерация, безопасный опрос, пометка исходного изображения и готовый URL‑плеера.

Задача

Media teams need a repeatable, no-code process to convert tagged images into cinematic videos and track the output alongside the source.

Результат

The workflow produces a 4‑second, 720p cinematic video from a still image, reduces file size with auto format and quality, tags the source image for audit, and outputs a Cloudinary Video Player embed URL ready for CMS insertion.

Рабочий процесс

• Webhook receives Cloudinary upload notification
• Get Asset fetches full asset record
• Eligible? checks resource_type, tags, and prompt
• Start Generation posts to Cloudinary image‑to‑video API and receives job_id
• Wait 15s pauses execution
• Poll Job GETs job status
• Completed? routes to success or give‑up
• Give Up? aborts after 20 polls or on failure
• Stop and Error logs failure details
• Tag Source Image appends video_gen_done tag
• Video Player URL builds embeddable player link

Eleven n8n nodes, with no code. The generation call is one HTTP request.

$runIndex >= 20 in Give Up? is the only thing between you and an infinite poll loop.
