Create would you rather shorts for faceless channels with Claude Opus and Shotstack

When you run it, it manages files with Claude using Shotstack.

What it does

## Would You Rather Shorts for a faceless channel One theme in, a 30-second vertical Short out: four "Would you rather" questions with AI pictures for each option, a split screen, a timer, a voice that reads each question and a "Comment A or B" prompt that gets people talking. Claude Opus 5.5 writes the questions and designs the whole video. Self-hosted n8n only: it saves the MP4s on disk. On n8n Cloud, save them to Google Drive instead. ### How it works 1. Reads Shotstack's guide for AI agents, then makes one video for each line in Your channel. 2. Claude writes the questions and the Shotstack edit from the brief in Claude makes the video. 3. Check the edit fixes small things and sends anything else back to Claude. 4. One Shotstack render generates the 8 images and the voices, then renders the Short. A refused edit or a failed render goes back to Claude, up to twice. ### Setup steps 1. Add an Anthropic API key to Claude and Claude (fixes). 2. Add a Shotstack API key to Make the video and Check the render. Free trial: https://shotstack.io/?utm_source=n8n&utm_medium=template&utm_campaign=would-you-rather&utm_content=workflow_note 3. In Your channel, put your channel name and one theme per line. Make an empty would-you-rather folder in n8n's files folder (/home/node/.n8n-files in Docker). 4. Click Execute workflow. ### Good to know - A Short costs about 5 Shotstack credits plus Claude. - Swap the manual trigger for a Schedule trigger to post every day.
