n8n Video Automation
Render videos in your n8n workflows with the verified Shotstack node.
How it works
Step 1
Add the Shotstack node
Install
@shotstack/n8n-nodes-shotstack, then add a credential with an API key from your Shotstack dashboard.Step 2
Render a template
Choose Render Template and map each field of your data, such as a spreadsheet row or a form response, to a merge field in your template.
Step 3
Send the video on
The node waits for the render and returns a hosted URL. Pass it to the next node to post, email or upload the video.
What you can do with n8n
Give an AI agent a video tool
The Shotstack node also works as a tool for an AI Agent node. Point the agent at a template render: filling a few merge fields is more reliable than writing a whole timeline.
Generate AI assets
Make an image, video or audio file from a text prompt with Generate Asset, then use its URL in a later render.
Render a full edit
Paste a complete Shotstack edit into Render Asset when each video needs its own timeline, not just new values in a template.
