Overview

The Video AI Analyzer node enables AI-powered analysis of videos using Google Gemini models. It downloads a video from a provided URL, applies a custom prompt for analysis, and returns the AI-generated result. This node is ideal for scenarios such as:

  • Summarizing video content automatically.
  • Extracting insights or generating reviews from video files.
  • Applying custom instructions (prompts) to analyze specific aspects of a video.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically generate a summary of a YouTube lecture.
  • Analyze customer sentiment in a product review video.
  • Extract key points from a webinar recording.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Video URL String URL of the video to analyze. The node will download the video from this address.
Custom Prompt String Custom instruction or question for the AI to use when analyzing the video.
Model Options Selects which Google Gemini model to use for the analysis.
Temperature Number (Options > Temperature) Controls randomness of the AI output (0.0 = deterministic, 1.0 = very random). Default is 0.5.
Maximum Video Size (MB) Number (Options > Maximum Video Size) Sets the maximum allowed size (in MB) for the video to be downloaded and analyzed. Default is 25 MB.

Note: There is also a non-functional branding notice property ("Created by HadidizFlow.com") that does not affect execution.

Output

The node outputs an array of items, each with a json field containing:

{
  "text": "<AI generated analysis or summary based on your prompt>"
}
  • If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will be:
{
  "error": "<Error message>"
}

No binary data is produced; all results are returned as JSON text.

Dependencies

  • Google Generative AI API: Requires a valid API key via n8n credentials named googlePalmApi.
  • External Libraries: Uses @google/generative-ai and node-fetch (bundled).
  • Internet Access: The node must be able to access the video URL and connect to Google's API.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid Video URL: If the video cannot be downloaded (e.g., due to a broken link or network issue), you will receive an error like:
    • Failed to download video: <statusText>
  • Video Too Large: If the video exceeds the specified maximum size, the error will be:
    • Video size (<actual size> MB) exceeds maximum allowed size (<limit> MB)
  • API Key Issues: If the Google API key is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur.
  • Unsupported Video Format: If the video format is not supported by the AI model, the analysis may fail.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the video URL and ensure it is accessible.
  • Increase the "Maximum Video Size" option if your video is too large.
  • Ensure your Google API key is correctly configured in n8n credentials.
  • Use standard video formats (e.g., MP4).
