Overview
This node provides various ffmpeg-related functionalities, including video processing tasks. Specifically, the "Combine Images" operation under the "Video Processing" resource allows users to create a video by combining multiple images sequentially. Each image is displayed for a specified duration, effectively generating a slideshow or video montage from a list of image URLs.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Creating video slideshows from a set of images.
- Generating preview videos or animated sequences from static images.
- Automating video content creation workflows that require image combination.
For example, a user can input a list of image URLs and specify how long each image should appear in the resulting video, producing a continuous video stream from those images.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Images Url List | A required string containing a valid list of image URLs to be combined into a video. |
| Images Duration | The duration (in seconds) each image will be displayed in the output video. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the ffmpeg processing. This typically includes metadata about the generated video file or a reference to the binary video data itself. If binary data is produced, it represents the combined video created from the input images.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for accessing the underlying ffmpeg service.
- Depends on external ffmpeg functionality exposed via an API endpoint configured in n8n credentials.
- The node internally routes execution to a router module that handles different operations, including video processing.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Image URLs: Ensure all URLs in the "Images Url List" are accessible and point to valid image files. Invalid or unreachable URLs may cause the operation to fail.
- Incorrect Duration Format: The "Images Duration" should be a valid number (as a string). Non-numeric or zero values might lead to errors or unexpected behavior.
- API Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Timeouts or Performance Issues: Combining many high-resolution images may take significant time or resources; consider limiting the number or size of images.
