Description

Try It Out! This n8n template demonstrates how to use Reka API via HTTP to AI generate a clip automatically from a YouTube video and send email notifications. How it works Looking at the RSS feed of a YouTube channel, the flow will be triggered when there is a new video published. Using Reka's API, we will submit a request for creating a clip using AI. You can customize: the prompt to generate the clip decide if you want captions or not decide the minimum or maximum duration of the clip Wait a little while, the magic happens Check if the job status is completed If yes, it send an success email If no, it will loop As a failsafe, after 10 iterations in the loop, it will send an error email 🔧 Configurations After importing the template, here is some information to customize your clips the way you like them. 🔘 When New Video Set the Feed URL to the YouTube channel you want to follow ex: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCAr20GBQayL-nFPWFnUHNAA 🔘 Create Reel Creation Job This API call will upload the video into your Reka's library and create a job for the clip. Parameters video_urls (string, required): URLs of input videos prompt (string, required): Description of the reel to generate generation_config template (“moments” | “compilation”, default: “moments”) num_generations (integer, default: 1) min_duration_seconds (integer, optional) max_duration_seconds (integer, optional) rendering_config subtitles (boolean, default: true) aspect_ratio (string, default: “9:16”) examples: “9:16”, “16:9”, “1:1”, “4:5” Example of a complete JSON { "video_urls": ["{{ $json.link }}"], "prompt": "Create an engaging short video highlighting the best moments", "generation_config": { "template": "moments", "num_generations": 1, "min_duration_seconds": 0, "max_duration_seconds": 30 }, "rendering_config": { "subtitles": true, "aspect_ratio": "9:16" } } 🔘 Send Clip Ready EMail Using the information of all previous nodes, customize an email that contains all the information the way you like.
