YouTube upload failing in n8n automation

Using a workflow that creates videos with Creatomate and uploads to YouTube.

Issue: YouTube node error - "expects binary file 'data', but none was found"

Added HTTP Request to download video from Creatomate URL, set to File format with output field "data". Node succeeds but outputs 1KB JSON instead of MP4 video.

How do I properly convert Creatomate video URL to binary data for YouTube upload?
