FAQ

Questions about this n8n workflow

What video format does it accept?

Any format supported by the YouTube API — MP4 is recommended. Video must already be in the correct Shorts aspect ratio (9:16).

Can I set different titles per video?

Yes — if you include a title in the file name or a companion metadata file in the Drive folder, the workflow can pick it up. Or use a fixed template title.

What if the Drive folder is empty?

The workflow checks first and skips gracefully if no new video is found, logging the skip in the run history.
