n8n GenMagic Workflow: Form to AI Animated Episode

Turn an episode brief into a finished AI animated series—automatically

n8n GenMagic Workflow: Form to AI Animated Episode takes a simple episode brief and produces a complete animated episode package: an AI-written script, a character sheet, scene keyframes and 5-second animated clips per scene, plus voiceover narration—all saved to Google Drive and logged in Google Sheets.

What this workflow does

• Collect your episode brief: A Form Trigger captures character description, visual style, episode premise, number of scenes (1–8), narration language, and aspect format (16:9 or 9:16).
• Generate the episode script (JSON): The workflow uses Generate Episode Script to request a GenMagic text model output containing a title, logline, and per-scene narration lines in your chosen language.
• Validate and record the plan: Parse Episode Script checks the JSON, sets image/clip format, and Append Episode to Sheets writes the episode entry to the Episodes tab.
• Create a consistent character sheet: Generate Character Sheet uses Nano Banana to draw the character (front + three-quarter) on a plain background, then Save Character Sheet to Drive stores it as the series reference.
• Generate keyframes + 5-second clips per scene: Plan Shot List turns the script into scene-by-scene items. For each scene, Generate Keyframe Drawing draws using the character sheet as reference, and Generate Keyframe Animation creates a 5-second clip with Seedance 2.0 Mini using both the character sheet and keyframe to keep the character consistent. Clips are saved via Save Animation Clip to Drive.
• Add voice narration: Generate Voice Narration produces narration per scene (final outputs are organized in Drive and tracked in Sheets).

Use cases

• Automation engineers building a GenAI pipeline for script-to-video workflows in n8n
• SaaS operators offering “animated episode generation” as a guided service using Form + Drive + Sheets
