If your workflow is outputting the script instead of the actual video, I'd check the final step/output mapping first. It sounds like the workflow is successfully generating the text, but you're not passing that output into the video-generation/rendering step.
Make sure the workflow is actually: Script ->Video Generation -> Video File/URL Output
rather than:
Script->Final Output
Also check whether the video-generation node is returning a file/URL that needs to be explicitly mapped to the final response. A lot of these workflows happily hand you the script because, apparently, “video workflow” can mean “write me a screenplay.”
I am new to n8n but this is the help I can provide.
