AI agent that creates videos on demand with Zvid
Chat with an AI agent that plans, drafts and renders real videos through the Zvid agent tools — templates, stock media and credit quotes included.
Copy, then paste directly onto your n8n canvas (Ctrl/Cmd + V) — or import the downloaded file via Workflow menu → Import from file.
How it works
This workflow turns n8n into a conversational video studio. A Chat Trigger opens a chat window, and an AI Agent node (OpenRouter model + window memory) answers with real actions instead of just text.
The agent is connected to n8n's built-in MCP Client Tool, pointed at Zvid's hosted MCP endpoint with the safe creator profile and a 120-credit ceiling per render stored in the endpoint URL. That exposes the Zvid platform as tools:
- plan the video and pick the strongest matching design from Zvid's library
- fill it with your copy, brand colors and stock media
- validate the project JSON and get a credit quote before anything is spent
- submit the render and return the finished video URL
Ask for “a 15s promo for my coffee brand in square format” and the agent picks a design, adapts it and hands back a rendered MP4 — everything here ships with n8n, so there is no community package to install.
Prefer deterministic action nodes with an API key instead of an agent? The @zvid/n8n-nodes-zvid community package adds Zvid render/status action nodes and a render-finished trigger.
Set up steps
- Open OpenRouter Chat Model and add your OpenRouter API credential — any model id on OpenRouter works (
openai/gpt-5-miniis a cheap default), or swap the node for any other n8n chat-model node. - Open Zvid MCP Tools, create an MCP OAuth2 API credential, keep dynamic client registration enabled, and sign in with your Zvid account — no API key to paste.
- Optionally change
profile=creatorormaxRenderCredits=120in the endpoint URL to widen or cap what the agent may do, for this workflow only. - Open the chat and describe the video you want — the agent quotes credits before rendering.
