Automate Viral Webinar Clips with AI: Export Effortlessly

Transform Your Long-Form Webinars into Viral Short-Form Content with Zero Manual Editing

Stop spending hours manually editing webinar recordings into social media clips. This intelligent n8n workflow analyzes your YouTube, Vimeo, or Zoom webinar URLs to automatically identify the most viral moments, then exports only the best segments as ready-to-post 9:16 vertical videos complete with animated captions, AI-generated hooks, and smart subject reframing.

What This Workflow Does

• Two-phase intelligent processing: Phase 1 scans your entire webinar and ranks potential clips by viral score without rendering anything, ensuring you only pay to export the highest-performing segments
• Automated vertical video creation: Renders selected clips in portrait 9:16 format optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with animated captions and AI subject reframing
• Smart clip selection: Automatically sorts and exports only your chosen maximum number of clips based on viral score rankings, prioritizing the most engaging content
• Comprehensive tracking: Logs every exported clip to Google Sheets with detailed metadata for easy content management
• Email delivery system: Sends Gmail digest with direct download links when all clips are processed and ready
• Reliable processing: Features dual polling loops with hard timeouts (25 minutes for identification, 20 minutes for rendering) to prevent workflow hanging
