This is an interesting problem, even we can scale it to,
for example : For long podcasts, we can generate those reels which has the potential to go viral. What are your plans in implementing it.-
Here’s how it works, fully automated:
1. A new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel<div>2. n8n detects the new video (via YouTube API or webhook)
3. n8n downloads the video using “yt dlp”
4. n8n runs a shell command using FFmpeg to:</div><div>
Trim a short section (e.g., from 1:00 to 1:30)
Crop and resize to vertical (9:16)Optionally add overlays (text, logo)
5. n8n uploads that short video!to:
TikTok (via API or webhook)
YouTube Shorts Facebook/Instagram Reels
6. Optionally, you get a Telegram or email notification saying “Reel posted”
</div>

Did you build this n8n workflow with n8n? and tested it?

I have not, my laptop became faulty few days ago, but do you think this would work?
