Made a workflow that auto chops long videos into TikTok/Reels/Square clips
Been manually cutting up long videos into shorts for way too long so I built something in n8n to do it for me.
You throw a video into a Google Drive folder and the workflow handles everything. Pulls the audio, transcribes it with Whisper, asks GPT to find the best moments, renders each clip in three aspect ratios through RenderIO (cloud FFmpeg), and drops them all back in Drive organized in folders. Logs everything to a Sheet too.
Runs completely hands off once you set it up. I just drop videos in and come back to find clips ready to post.
You need Google Drive, Sheets, OpenAI, and a free RenderIO account. Works on both n8n Cloud and self hosted.
