OpenAI analyzes the photo and writes a cinematic video prompt, [AtlasCloud](https://www.atlascloud.ai/?ref=8QKPJE) Seedance 2.0 generates the video from that prompt, OpenAI writes the caption in parallel, and [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) publishes the finished Reel to Instagram.\n\n## Setup\n1. Open the Configuration node and set your `product_image_url`.\n2. Select your OpenAI credential (already pre-wired if you have one named \"OpenAi account\").\n3. Manually select the \"AtlasCloud API\" Header Auth credential on the 2 AtlasCloud HTTP Request nodes (auto-bind isn't supported for generic HTTP credentials).\n4. On the Blotato node, pick your connected Instagram account from the Account dropdown.\n5. Run the workflow manually to generate and publish your first Reel.\n\n## Requirements\n- An OpenAI API key with access to a vision-capable model (e.g. gpt-4o)\n- An [AtlasCloud](https://www.atlascloud.ai/?ref=8QKPJE) account and API key (Seedance 2.0 text-to-video, ~0.10-0.15 $/second of video)\n- A [Blotato](https://blotato.com/?ref=firas) account with your Instagram Business account connected\n- Self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud with Verified Community Nodes enabled (Blotato is a community node)\n\n## Customization\n- Change `video_aspect_ratio` (9:16 / 16:9) and `video_duration_seconds` to fit other formats\n- Add extra brand guidance via `extra_creative_direction`\n- Swap the manual trigger for a Schedule Trigger to run this on autopilot\n- Adjust `poll_interval_seconds` / `max_poll_attempts` if your videos take longer to render\n\nNeed help customizing?\nContact me for consulting and support : [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctor-firass/)\n\n# MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL\n\ud83d\udc49 [Subscribe to my new YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DrFiras_AI).
