N8N AI Video Generator: Bulk Queue, Retry Logic, Auto-Delivery to Google Drive
I built an n8n workflow that generates AI video scenes in bulk from structured JSON prompts, with automatic retry logic, collision prevention, and delivery to Google Drive. Fully hands-off once the queue is loaded. 100 videos = $2. š§ TECH STACK - n8n (self-hosted) - Google Sheets (prompt queue + settings) - Google Drive (output storage) - VEO via API (video generation) - Webhook self-trigger pattern
A client was 'SPENDING' 6-10 HOURS A DAY generating AI videos.
After this automation: ZERO!
We built an n8n workflow that handles bulk video generation end-to-end, queue management, failure recovery, automatic retry, file delivery to Google Drive. Fully hands-off.
What makes it reliable in production:
ā” Status-based collision prevention - "Processing" label locks a scene before the API call goes out. Multiple triggers can't double-generate the same row.
ā” Self-healing queue - failures automatically revert to "Not Started" and get retried next cycle. Nothing gets lost, nothing blocks the queue.
ā” 55-min watchdog trigger - even if the session dies, the queue resumes on its own.
ā” Structured JSON prompts - each row is a full scene brief with visual and SFX rules, not just a text prompt. Consistency across scenes.
ā” Controlled filenames - `video_id + scene_id + timestamp`. The combine automation downstream uses this to assemble full videos in the right order.
ā Full pipeline: generate ā watermark removal ā scene combining + overlays ā caption generation ā social media autopost.
100 videos = $2.
