"content": "## Create metaphor-driven video ads with Veo 3 via Pollo API\n\n\n### Overview\nAutomate the creation of cinematic AI video ads using [Pollo API](https://api.pollo.ai)'s [Veo 3 API](https://docs.pollo.ai/m/google/veo3) through this intuitive n8n workflow. Veo 3 is well suited for product concepts that need to feel symbolic, sensory, and emotionally clear, pairing cinematic visuals with native dialogue, sound effects, and background audio.\n\n\n**Key Benefits:**\n- \ud83c\udfad Metaphor-led product storytelling that turns abstract benefits into memorable visual scenes.\n- \ud83d\udd0a Native audio generation with dialogue, sound effects, and ambient background noise.\n- \ud83c\udfa5 Strong prompt understanding for camera movement, scene mood, product action, and ad pacing.\n- \u23f1\ufe0f 8-second video generation for fast product concept testing inside repeatable n8n workflows.\n\n\n### Perfect for\nE-commerce marketers, product teams, ad agencies, creative strategists, startup founders, and growth teams that need emotionally sharp video ad concepts from simple product ideas.\n\n\n### Prerequisites\n- [Pollo API account](https://api.pollo.ai) and API key ([Get your API key here](https://api.pollo.ai/api-keys)).\n- Active n8n instance with form submission capabilities.\n- AI prompts and optional product, packaging, or style-reference image URLs for generation.\n\n\n### Quick Setup\n\n\n#### 1. **Get API Key**\nRegister at [api.pollo.ai](https://api.pollo.ai) and generate your API key.\n\n\n#### 2. **Configure Form Fields**\nSet up these fields in your \"On Form Submission\" node:\n- **`prompt`** (Required): Detailed text description of the product concept, metaphor, scene, camera movement, and audio mood you want in the video ad.\n- **`image_url`** (Optional): Publicly accessible product, packaging, or reference image URL for image-to-video or reference-led generation.\n- **`model_path`** (Required): Enter `google/veo3` to route the request to the Veo 3 model.\n- **`api_key`** (Required): Your Pollo AI API key for authentication.\n\n\n#### 3. **Test & Use**\n- Execute the workflow.\n- Access the generated form URL.\n- Fill in your details and submit.\n- Wait for processing.\n- Results will be displayed automatically.\n\n\n### Usage Tips\n\n\n**Metaphor First, Product Second:**\nStart with the feeling or transformation the product creates, then express it as a visual metaphor. Let the product appear as the reason the scene shifts, resolves, or becomes easier.\n\n\n**Better Prompts:**\nInclude the product type, customer pain point, central metaphor, visual transformation, camera direction, sound design, and final product moment.\n\n\n**Example:** \"An 8-second cinematic ad for noise-canceling headphones: a commuter stands in a chaotic subway as the surrounding noise becomes sharp glass fragments floating in the air. When they put on the headphones, the glass melts into soft blue light, the camera slowly pushes in, ambient noise fades into calm music, and the final shot shows the headphones glowing subtly.\"\n\n\n**Common Uses:**\n- Product benefit metaphor ads\n- E-commerce concept video testing\n- Social media launch teasers\n- Founder-led product pitch visuals\n- Brand moodboard-to-video experiments\n- Paid ad creative variations\n\n\n### Troubleshooting\n- **API Key Invalid**: Ensure your API key is correct and active.\n- **Generation Fails**: Check whether your product or reference image URLs are publicly accessible and not behind a login. Also, make sure your prompt follows safety guidelines.\n\n\n**Keywords:** Veo 3 API, Pollo API, Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, automated video ads, e-commerce video, Reference-to-Video, AI video ads, AI video with audio, n8n template, AI workflow"
