n8n Local Image to Video Example

n8n workflow: load a local image, generate a video, then poll the result.

1. First node: choose a trigger. Second: read a file from disk. Third: call the video generation API. Fourth: query the generated video.
2. Open the Read File node
3. Select reading an image from local disk.
4. For the file path, replace Windows backslashes \ copied from Explorer with /.
5. Open the first HTTP Request node Set Method from the API docs, URL to the endpoint, and Authentication to the second option.

Choose Bearer Auth.

Add a credential and paste the token so all HTTP requests can reuse it.

If that auth type fails, enable Send Headers and set Name=Authorization, Value=Bearer <token> (space between Bearer and the token).

1. Enable Send Body and choose Form Data for parameters from the docs.
2. For the image field, choose n8n Binary File so it uses the binary from the previous node; put data in Value to send the whole image.
3. Open the fourth node
4. Other settings match above. For query APIs like https://xxxx:xxxx/xxxx/{id}, place the id from the previous response at the end of the path (type it, or drag the Tid marker shown in the red circle).
