Hi everyone,

I've been exploring how to automatically generate and share short product demo videos using AI video tools .

For instance, I used AI Studios to create this short explainer for a LEGO Game Boy — the system automatically wrote the script, generated the voiceover, and rendered the video in under five minutes:
🎥 Watch the example here

What I'd like to automate next is the publishing workflow — once a new video is generated, I want it to automatically:

  1. Upload to YouTube or Vimeo

  2. Post to LinkedIn with a description and hashtags

  3. Save to Google Drive or Dropbox for storage

Ideally, Zapier would detect when a new MP4 is generated in AI Studios and then trigger these actions.

Has anyone tried something similar — maybe using webhooks or file upload triggers to kick off a publishing flow?

Also curious if anyone's found a good way to automat:

  • Adding captions or subtitles

  • Generating a thumbnail

  • Posting to multiple channels simultaneously

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hey there! Zapier does have an integration with AI Studios that includes a “New Video is Ready” trigger: https://zapier.com/apps/ai-studios/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Based on what you described, it sounds like that would be the best way to kick off your workflow. 

We also integrate with all of the other apps you mentioned, so you should be able to build all of this in one Zap. 

  1. New Video is Ready in AI Studios trigger
  2. Upload video to Vimeo or YouTube action
  3. Create Share Update in LinkedIn action
  4. Upload File in Google Drive or Dropbox action

As for your other questions, the AI Studios trigger does provide a video title when it triggers, but that does appear to be it. Would using some kind of AI app be an option for generating the captions and thumbnails? If so, that may be something to explore.

Otherwise, I have seen folks use a spreadsheet to store that data, and then use the Zap to search for that data when the video is ready. For example, if you have a row in your spreadsheet that has the same video name that is used in AI Studios, you could add an action to the Zap to lookup the spreadsheet row that matches the video name, and in that row you could have a caption and thumbnail URL saved. Then that information can be used later on in the Zap, such as the YouTube or LinkedIn actions. 

For posting to multiple channels simultaneously, you can add multiple YouTube and Vimeo actions to the same Zap. They can be set to upload the video to different channels. 

I hope this helps!

Hi ​@text2videodev 👋

Did Mary K’s suggestion help to point you in the right direction? 

Let us know how it went, want to make sure you’re all set! 🙂

For my Idea About Automated Faceless Video Workflow through text
 

The workflow for generating fully automated faceless videos consists of these main steps :​

  • Source Input: Start with any text source, such as a news article, a transcript, or your own script.

  • Story and Narration Generation: Use GPT (like ChatGPT) to convert the source text into a video-friendly story/narration.

  • Scene Breakdown: The story is broken down into individual scenes—each scene corresponds to a portion of narration and a set of images.

  • AI Image Generation: For each scene, prompts are sent to an AI image generator to create visuals (styles are fully customizable, e.g., comic book, photorealistic, etc.).

  • Voiceover Synthesis: The narration is sent to a text-to-speech service (like ElevenLabs) to generate a natural-sounding voiceover.

  • Approval and Customization (Optional): The workflow allows you to approve generated stories, images, and scenes at every step, or automate the entire process for speed.

  • Video Assembly: All outputs (images, voiceovers, captions) are automatically combined into a complete video sequence, ready for YouTube or TikTok publishing.

  • Scalable and Configurable: The entire automation is built for flexibility, so you can create various video types, styles, and approval flows without overhauling your automations.

  • Central Management: Everything is managed and triggered via Airtable, providing a scalable and user-friendly interface.
