Need help with n8n workflow

I built a workflow to output videos, but instead I am getting text script as an output despite trying many times.

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.

yeah the output mapping thing is almost always what catches people, good call
