What if you could turn one long form video into 3 fully edited shorts — with scripts, B-roll, captions, transitions, and a lead magnet — all automated? In this episode, Adam Goodyer walks us through the exact n8n workflow he built to repurpose long form YouTube content into short form content across Instagram, TikTok, and more, with minimal human input. Adam shares two versions of the system: Version 1 — A fully automated pipeline using HeyGen AI avatars, Appify, Gemini, Replicate (Seed Dance), and CreatorMate to go from a YouTube URL to 3 finished shorts with zero human recording Version 2 — A human-in-the-loop approach using Telegram to send Adam a script, he films himself in 45 seconds, sends it back, and the system handles everything else We also dig into why he moved away from AI avatars (for now), how he's generating 50,000+ LinkedIn impressions with AI-written content, and what the full content pipeline vision looks like.
