Overview
This node generates short video content (shorts or reels) based on a user-provided text prompt using an AI-powered video generation service. It is designed to create engaging, customizable videos quickly by specifying parameters such as video duration, quality, caption style, and visual effects.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Creating social media shorts or reels automatically from marketing copy or blog summaries.
- Generating quick promotional videos for products or events without manual video editing.
- Producing captioned videos with talking head overlays for educational or informational content.
For example, a user can input a prompt like "Tips for healthy eating" and configure the video duration and caption style to generate a ready-to-share short video summarizing those tips.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the external AI video generation service.
- Makes authenticated HTTP POST requests to the service's API endpoint.
- Uses a polling mechanism to wait until the video generation task completes.
- Requires network connectivity to the external API at
https://api.wiro.ai/v1/Run/wiro/Shorts-Reels-Video-Generator.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key and secret are correctly configured in the node credentials.
- API response missing task ID or token: This indicates an issue with the request or service availability; verify all required parameters and retry.
- Task status returns failed: The video generation did not complete successfully; check the prompt and parameters for validity or try again later.
- Timeout during polling: If the task takes too long, the node may time out; consider increasing timeout settings or checking service status.
- Invalid parameter values: Make sure all inputs conform to expected types and allowed options, especially for enumerated fields like video duration and quality.
