Turn an image into a cinematic video with NanoBanana Ultra, Kling, Blotato

Description

💥 AI Image → Professional Video Workflow (NanoBanana Ultra + Kling AI + Blotato)

📄 Documentation: Notion Guide

👤 Who is this for?
This workflow is designed for content creators, marketers, fashion brands, AI creators, and automation builders who want to turn a single image into a cinematic, multi-shot professional video, then automatically publish it on platforms like YouTube—without manual editing.

It’s especially useful if you already work with Google Sheets, n8n, and AI image/video generation APIs.

🎯 What problem does this workflow solve? (Use case)
Creating high-quality video content from images usually requires:
Manual image editing
Multiple AI tools
Video stitching
Uploading and publishing steps

This workflow fully automates that pipeline:
From a single image URL
To a cinematic multi-shot video
To automatic publishing

All driven from a spreadsheet.

⚙️ What this workflow does
This workflow runs in two main phases:

Step 1 – Contact Sheet Generation (NanoBanana Ultra)
Reads an image URL from Google Sheets
Downloads the image from Google Drive
Uploads it to a public host (tmpfiles)
Uses NanoBanana Ultra (edit-ultra) to generate a 2×3 cinematic contact sheet
Ensures:
Identity preservation
Fashion & texture fidelity
Consistent lighting and style
Saves the generated contact sheet back to Google Drive
Updates the spreadsheet status

Step 2 – Video Creation & Publishing (Blotato)
Splits the contact sheet into 6 keyframes
Uploads each frame publicly
Uses Kling AI (start–end frame i2v) to generate multiple cinematic video segments
Merges the generated clips into a single final video (FFmpeg API)
Uploads the final video to Google Drive
Publishes automatically to YouTube via **Blotato**
Updates the spreadsheet with the final video URL and status
