n8n Faceless Videos

This is the EASIEST n8n/Make AI agent system that creates faceless AI videos and posts them to all social platforms, without having to sign up for multiple tools to generate AI images, videos, voice, and stitch everything together.

Faceless AI videos are blowing up on social media, getting millions of views.

Anyone can start making them today, without expertise in video editing.

Here's the n8n template to import: n8n template

Here’s a sample video created by this automation — including the animated images, voiceover, and captions 😎 using image model “Recraft” and video model “Framepack”.

Overview

A single n8n/Make workflow that:

1. Generates a faceless video idea and script

2. Turns that script into a full AI video

3. Posts to 7 social platforms​

Prerequisites

Tool	Why you need it	Links
n8n or Make	Runs the no-code workflow	https://n8n.io https://make.com
Blotato	Generates video & posts to social platforms	https://blotato.com
ChatGPT	Write script & caption	https://platform.openai.com/

Step 1. Import the template

1. Download the JSON file (top of this chat).

2. In n8n or Make, click Import

3. The full workflow should appear

Step 2. Setup

To get the workflow running for the first time, you only need to configure 2 nodes:

1. Prepare Video

Here’s how the node looks. The only field you need to fill out is blotato_api_key which you can get here.

{
  "blotato_api_key": "",
  "template": "empty",
  "voiceId": "elevenlabs/eleven_multilingual_v2/JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb",
  "captionPosition": "bottom",
  "script": {{ $('AI Agent').item.json.output.toJsonString() }},
  "style": "cinematic",
  "animate_first_image": true,
  "animate_all": false,
  "text_to_image_model": "replicate/recraft-ai/recraft-v3",
  "image_to_video_model": "fal-ai/framepack"
}

1. Prepare to Publish

Here’s how the node looks. For your 1st test, the only fields you need to fill out are:

• blotato_api_key

• instagram_id OR tiktok_id

After your first test succeeds, then you can test all your other social account IDs.

{
  "blotato_api_key": "",
  "instagram_id": "",
  "youtube_id": "",
  "tiktok_id": "",
  "facebook_id": "",
  "facebook_page_id": "",
  "threads_id": "",
  "twitter_id": "",
  "linkedin_id": "",
  "pinterest_id": "",
  "pinterest_board_id": "",
  "bluesky_id": "",
  "final_text_long": {{ $('Prepare Video').item.json.script.caption.toJsonString() }},
  "final_text_short": {{ $('Prepare Video').item.json.script.caption.toJsonString() }}
}

---

Step 3. Understand How AI Creates Your Video

The heavy lifting happens in the Create Video node, which calls Blotato API to generate your faceless video. Here is the API documentation.

{
  "template": {
    "id": "{{ $json.template }}"
    "voiceId": "elevenlabs/eleven_multilingual_v2/JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb",
    "captionPosition": "top",
  },
  "script": {{ $json.script.script.toJsonString() }},
  "style": "{{ $json.style }}",
  "animateFirstImage": {{ $json.animate_first_image }},
  "animateAll": {{ $json.animate_all }},
  "textToImageModel": "{{ $json.text_to_image_model }}",
  "imageToVideoModel": "{{ $json.image_to_video_model }}"
}

The prebuilt template injects your variables automatically, as defined in the Prepare Video node, so you don’t have to touch anything right now.

If you want Blotato to take your script and transform it into a POV style video, set id to base/pov/wakeup in the “Prepare Video” node. Viral POV videos typically don’t have an AI voiceover, so this template will disable the AI voiceover.

If you want Blotato to take your script as is, without transforming it into POV style, set id to empty in the “Prepare Video” node. This will generate an AI voiceover reading your script. Here’s the full list of AI voices available.

Here are the parameters available for each video template:

I plan to add many more templates, especially for business/professional videos!

To animate the whole video, not just the first image, make sure to set animate_all to true in the “Prepare Video” node.

---

Step 4. Test Run

For your test run, make sure only 1 social platform is enabled. Disable the others.

Don’t touch anything else besides the 2 “prepare” nodes as described above.

Here are common issues and errors:

Symptom	Fix
“401 Unauthorized”	Wrong or expired Blotato API key
Getting video returns “script-ready”	The video isn’t done exporting, so you’ll need to increase wait time.
Social post fails	Check that account ID is correct and that the account is connected in Blotato

Once everything is working, now you can go back and tweak the automation!

For example, you probably want to change the AI agent node’s prompt, which I’ve copied below for reference:

# INSTRUCTIONS

1. Brainstorm 50 different viral faceless video ideas related to theme "Little known history facts about [famous person]".

2. Randomly select 1 of the ideas. Research relevant statistics, dates, and figures related to the specific idea.

3. Write a 15-second video script for a viral faceless video. Use 6th grade language, use active voice, and start with a hook that leaves viewers wanting to know the answer. Do NOT start with a greeting like "Hey there!".

4. Write a 2-sentence video caption, use 6th grade language, no emojis, and append 3 relevant hashtags to the end of the caption, including "#ai".

# OUTPUT FORMAT

In JSON format:

1. Output the script.
2. Output the caption.

AI Image and Video Models

You can also customize the AI image and video models.

The template default AI image model is “recraft” which creates realistic-looking images. I also personally like the image model “flux-pro”.

The template default AI video model is “framepack” which is the cheapest option, so that you don’t accidentally burn lots of credits.
