What this workflow does

This n8n workflow accepts a text prompt and GCP token, calls Vertex AI Veo 3 via HTTP Request to generate a video, waits for completion, converts the base64 output to .mp4, and uploads the file to Google Drive.

It is designed for content creators, marketers, AI enthusiasts, and developers who want to automate cinematic video generation using Google’s Veo 3 model.
