Build an AI Image-to-Video Workflow with n8n and JuheAPI

Why Automate AI Image-to-Video with n8n + JuheAPI

Automation engineers and marketers want repeatable pipelines that turn images and prompts into polished videos—without manual steps. n8n provides the orchestration, and JuheAPI’s Wisdom Gate Sora 2 Pro delivers high-quality generation. Together, you get an AI image to video workflow that’s fast, scalable, and easy to maintain.

• Practical angle: JSON workflow export you can paste into n8n
• Integration-first approach: Webhooks in, video files out
• Optimized keywords: AI image to video workflow, n8n video automation

Architecture Overview

At a glance, the pipeline looks like this:

1. Ingest: A public n8n webhook receives a POST payload with image URL(s), prompt, and timing.
2. Prompt shaping: A function node combines marketing metadata with the image context.
3. Generation: n8n calls JuheAPI Wisdom Gate to start an asynchronous Sora 2 Pro task.
4. Status: Poll the task until completed (or failed) and capture the download URL.
5. Delivery: Download the video, store it (S3/Drive/local), and notify channels (Slack/Email/CRM).
6. Analytics: Log timings, costs, and outcomes for campaign reporting.

Data Flow

• Input: title, description, image_url(s), seconds, campaign_id
• Output: task_id, status, download_url, duration, model
• Storage: Object store or CDN for downstream campaign use

Prerequisites

• n8n instance with public URL (self-hosted or cloud)
• JuheAPI Wisdom Gate account with API key
• Secure secrets store (n8n credentials or environment variables)
• Optional destinations: S3/Cloud storage, Slack/Email, CRM

Getting Started with Sora 2 Pro

Sora 2 Pro on Wisdom Gate offers smoother sequences, better scene cohesion, and longer durations—ideal for marketing edits, product explainers, and UGC transformations.

Step 1: Sign Up and Get API Key

Visit Wisdom Gate’s dashboard, create an account, and get your API key. The dashboard also allows you to view and manage all active tasks.

Step 2: Model Selection

Choose sora-2-pro for the most advanced generation features. Expect smoother sequences, better scene cohesion, and extended durations.

Step 3: Make Your First Request

Below is an example request to generate a serene lake scene:

curl -X POST "https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/videos" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F model="sora-2-pro" \
  -F prompt="A serene lake surrounded by mountains at sunset" \
  -F seconds="25"

Step 4: Check Progress

Asynchronous execution means you can check status without blocking:

curl -X GET "https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/videos/{task_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Alternatively, monitor task progress and download results from the dashboard: https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/hall/tasks

Best Practices for Stable Video Generation

• Prompt Precision: Clearly describe subject, environment, and atmosphere.
• Test Durations: Longer videos may require more processing time; balance with need.
• Download Early: Wisdom Gate retains logs for 7 days—save locally once complete.

Webhook Design: Input and Output Contracts

Define a simple JSON contract that your marketing tools can POST to.

Example Inbound Payload

{
  "title": "Autumn Promo",
  "description": "Warm, inviting visuals for seasonal sale",
  "image_url": "https://cdn.example.com/assets/hero.jpg",
  "seconds": 20,
  "campaign_id": "FALL-2025",
  "tone": "relaxed, cinematic",
  "notify": {
    "email": "pm@example.com",
    "slack": "#marketing"
  }
}

Example Synchronous Response

Return immediately with a task receipt so clients can continue.

{
  "accepted": true,
  "task_id": "vg_8a2b1c...",
  "status_url": "https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/videos/vg_8a2b1c...",
  "campaign_id": "FALL-2025"
}
