The basic modules allow you to integrate JSON2Video with Make.com to automate video creation efficiently.
The basic modules are:
Create a Movie from my Template
Templates are the simplest and recommended way to create videos in most use cases. A template can be created using the Visual Editor and then, using variables, called and customized from your Make.com workflow.
Steps
- From the list of modules, select "Create a Movie from my Template"
- Select your desired output resolution
- Select your template from your list of templates
- The variables you defined in your template will appear as fields to be filled in
- Add a "Wait for a Movie to Render" module after the "Create a Movie from my Template" to make sure your worflow waits for the video to finish rendering
Create a Movie from a Template ID
In case you are using a template that is not created by you or you didn't make a copy of it in your account, this module allows you to create videos from a template ID.
A template ID looks similar to this: cDG1D9BcFbYGiY3alBgI
You can get template IDs from different sources:
- Someone shared their template with you
- You found it published on forums or social media
- On JSON2Video.com template catalog
Steps
- From the list of modules, select "Create a Movie from a Template ID"
- Choose your desired output resolution
- Enter the template ID
- Fill the input variables to configure the template
- Add a "Wait for a Movie to Render" module just after to make sure your worflow waits for the video to finish rendering
Wait for a Movie to Render
This is a must have module in your workflows as it's the necessary complement to any video creation module if your workflow does something with the resulting video.
This module enters into a loop checking for your video render to finish and the only input parameter for the module is the Project ID of your running job.
Check a Movie Status
In rare situations, instead of using the "Wait for a Movie to Render" module, you can check the status of a render just once. If this is the case, you can use this module instead.
Again, the only needed input parameter is the Project ID of your movie.
