n8n RSS to LinkedIn Video & X Teaser w/ OpenAI + Zvid

Turn your RSS posts into a complete LinkedIn + X video social kit—automatically

This n8n workflow watches your RSS feed, grabs the newest post, and uses OpenRouter (via OpenAI copy) plus Zvid rendering to produce a LinkedIn square video, an X teaser video, and an Open Graph share image. Run it daily at 9am (or test manually) and get ready-to-review media links.

What this workflow does

• Schedules and triggers: Runs every day at 9am, or you can trigger it manually for a test run.
• Detects the newest RSS item: Reads the configured RSS feed, selects the latest post, and stops if it was already processed in a previous production run.
• Fetches content and generates copy: Loads the blog page (using feed text as fallback) and sends the article text to OpenRouter to generate structured JSON copy for each asset.
• Validates background music: Checks the configured music URL using an HTTP HEAD request and skips audio if it’s unreachable or exceeds the size limit.
• Builds, validates, and renders with Zvid: Creates project payloads per enabled asset, validates them, and runs the configured dryRun or production branch.
• Dry run vs production: With dryRun=true, it creates draft projects and returns editor links with a credit estimate (requires a Zvid node version exposing Project → Create). With dryRun=false, it renders one asset at a time, retries explicit rate-limit rejections, and polls jobs until timeout.

Use cases

• SaaS teams repurposing blog content into consistent LinkedIn and X video teasers.
• n8n users who want an RSS-to-video automation workflow with built-in job retries and review links.
• Automation engineers validating creative pipelines using dryRun credit estimates before full renders.

Technical details

• n8n nodes: if, set, code, wait, sticky note, and Zvid nodes (listed as @zvid/n8n-nodes-zvid in the setup).
• Integrations: RSS feed input, OpenRouter for JSON copy generation, and Zvid for rendering LinkedIn square video, X teaser video, and Open Graph share image.
