Free Video Generator

Questions
1

Hi!

For a college project, I need a node that can generate free AI Videos with a prompt (Text to video] type. Can someone please suggest some “Free” tools? And how the node structure should be?

Also not that, I need complete video generation tool, not like the picture/slideshow with subtitle sold as video.

Please suggest if you know anything, Thanks

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Hi @azizaavon ,

Finding a truly “free” generative text-to-video API is difficult because rendering video requires expensive GPU resources, so most services (like Runway or HeyGen) are paid.

For a college project with zero budget, your best option is the Hugging Face Inference API. It allows you to run open-source models like damo-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b or Zeroscope for free, though it may be slow or queue your requests.

Hi @azizaavon, hope you’re doing well.
From what I know, there are currently no truly free text-to-video tools that generate full AI videos and also provide a usable public API. Most free options are either UI-only, heavily limited, watermark-based, or slideshow-style rather than real video generation. In n8n, I could only integrate services that expose a REST API using an HTTP Request node followed by a download/write step.

Hi @azizaavon Welcome!

You can use:

And models are available in that for video generation that you can use for free to a certain limit of free usage Kling.2.5 is the model you can use within the free credits and it is economical for starting things out, hope this helps.

You will get free credits and you can generate 2 videos of 5 second each.

Hi! @A_A4 So hugging face is actually giving me errors, It says to use its new “router” link, but when I use that it says there are not enough credits or something. It was a bit unrealiable. Do you have a workflow of hugging face that I can try?

Hi! @tamy.santos
I can work with http requests but still need a tool to use. Do you know any?

If you have a Gemini subscription (Pro or Ultra), they give free monthly GenAI and Google Cloud credits that you can use via the API,

You can link this to n8n and use Gemini’s “Generate a video” node,

Since you’re a student, I think I read that they offer a free year, so this would probably be your best free option..

So, finally I used replicate AI.
You may use it in a manual code and then use an execute command node to get that running or there is a way you can ‘download’ / ‘get an extension’ of replicate AI to use it as a node.
Regardless, it is good if the prompts are detailed. It is a trial based thing, so eventually once creadits run out you would have to pay. On the trial, 50-100 videos can be generated, these videos are 5-10 secs long…
Its a good option if you are suspicious of the AI tools that ask for credit card info.
Overall, it is not bad and ok to use for trials/mini projects
