How I Helped a Client Automate Video Creation with JSON2Video and n8n

A client of mine wanted to turn their product updates and daily blog snippets into short engaging videos for social media. The idea was great but the execution was exhausting. Every video took hours to design edit and upload and by the time one was ready the next topic was already waiting.

To solve this I built an automation using n8n and JSON2Video. The system takes new content from their Google Sheet sends it through JSON2Video’s API and automatically generates a complete video with visuals text overlays and background music. Once the video is created it’s instantly stored in their drive and ready for posting.

The toughest part was aligning visuals with specific topics to make sure each video looked intentional. I handled that by using conditional logic and dynamic fields in n8n which helped the automation select the right templates and images for each topic.

The result was a game changer. What once took hours now happens automatically. The client’s content output increased and their videos became more consistent and professional looking.

If you create videos regularly but find it hard to keep up this kind of automation can take the load off your shoulders while keeping your brand active every day.
