n8n AI Video Generator: Parallel Sora 2 + Veo 3.1 Workflow

Generate short AI videos in parallel with Sora 2 + Veo 3.1—fully automated in n8n

This beginner-friendly n8n template lets you paste a prompt once, then automatically generates a 720p short clip using OpenAI Sora 2 and Google Veo 3.1 (via Wavespeed) at the same time—then emails you the results for quick review.

What this workflow does

The workflow starts with a prompt from an n8n Chat Trigger, then runs two video generation routes in parallel:

• Sora 2 route: An HTTP Request sends a POST /v1/videos request, then another HTTP Request fetches the clip content via GET /videos/{id}/content. Finally, it uses Gmail to email the resulting MP4 attachment.
• Veo 3.1 route (Wavespeed): An HTTP Request sends POST /google/veo3.1/text-to-video, then the workflow polls until the prediction is ready using a Wait + IF loop with HTTP Request GET /predictions/{id}/result. When ready, it emails you the result link via Gmail.

The template includes pinned sample prompts (including a marketing use case) and uses Sticky Notes to explain each lane and link to the tutorial build.

Use cases

• Compare Sora 2 vs Veo 3.1 outputs quickly from the same prompt.
• Speed up marketing ideation: generate short clips and review them in your inbox.
• Train yourself on API-based video automation patterns (direct MP4 vs polled URL).

Technical details

• OpenAI: API key with access to the Sora 2 video endpoint
• Wavespeed: API key for Veo 3.1 text-to-video
• Gmail: Gmail OAuth2 to send results
• n8n nodes: if, Wait, Gmail, Sticky Note, HTTP Request, and n8n-nodes-langchain Chat Trigger
