n8n UGC Video Automation: Generate eCommerce Ads with Sora & Gemini

Turn a single product photo into multiple UGC-style eCommerce ad videos—automatically

This n8n template generates authentic User-Generated Content (UGC) influencer-style marketing videos for your eCommerce products. Upload a product image, and the workflow creates multiple 12-second ad variations with scripts, personas, and AI video generation—optimized for social media (720x1280, 9:16).

What this workflow does

• Product analysis with OpenAI Vision: the workflow uses OpenAI’s vision API to understand the uploaded product image—features, benefits, and likely target audience.
• Persona creation: it generates a detailed influencer/creator profile tailored to the product’s best-fit marketing voice.
• Script generation with Gemini 2.5 Pro: it creates multiple authentic UGC video scripts (12 seconds each), including frame-by-frame breakdowns.
• AI video generation with Sora: Sora 2 generates the realistic UGC-style videos. Expect about 2–3 minutes per 12-second video.
• Scales from one image: from a single product image, the workflow produces multiple video variations for testing different creative angles.
• Auto delivery to Google Drive: finished videos are automatically uploaded to Google Drive.

Use cases

• A/B test eCommerce ads by producing multiple UGC variations from one product image
• Create authentic-looking product demos for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
