# Auto Slicing & Auto Posting: n8n Workflow Template

> n8n workflow template that automatically cuts long videos into social-ready clips and posts them on schedule — no manual editing or SMM required.

The **Auto Slicing & Auto Posting** template is an n8n workflow that takes your long-form video, identifies the most engaging moments, cuts them into platform-optimised clips, and publishes everything on a schedule you define — all without you lifting a finger after the initial setup.

| Detail                               | Value    |
| ------------------------------------ | -------- |
| **Price**                            | \$20.00  |
| **Professional Installation add-on** | +\$40.00 |
| **Platform**                         | n8n      |
| **Level**                            | Beginner |
| **Version**                          | 1.0      |

## What it does

Most creators lose reach not because their content is bad, but because posting is inconsistent. Editing takes hours, scheduling gets postponed, and clips pile up unpublished. This template removes every manual step between "raw video" and "published post":

* Accepts a long video from a URL, upload, or connected channel
* Automatically identifies the best moments for short-form clips
* Cuts and formats each clip for the correct platform aspect ratio
* Posts clips to your connected social accounts on the schedule you set
* Requires no further input — your content publishes while you focus on everything else

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload a video or connect a channel">
    Trigger the workflow by providing a video file URL or by connecting a source channel. The workflow picks up new videos automatically when a channel is connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automatic moment detection and cutting">
    The automation analyses the video and selects the strongest moments. It then cuts individual clips sized and formatted for social media feeds (vertical, square, or horizontal depending on the target platform).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Platform formatting">
    Each clip is automatically reformatted to match the specifications of your configured platforms — no manual resizing or re-exporting required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scheduled publishing">
    The system queues clips and publishes them according to the posting schedule you set in the workflow trigger node. Posts go out at the right times, consistently, every day.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hands-off operation">
    Once activated, the workflow runs on its own. Your content pipeline keeps moving without any manual input on your part.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Who it's for

This template is a strong fit if you fall into any of these categories:

* **Experts and bloggers** who produce long-form content (interviews, tutorials, vlogs) and want short clips distributed automatically
* **Podcasters** who want video clips cut and posted without a dedicated editor
* **Online schools and info-product businesses** that generate a lot of video content and need it repurposed continuously
* **Businesses** that treat content as a traffic channel and want it running on autopilot

## Getting started

  <Step title="Purchase the template">

  <Step title="Import the workflow into n8n">
    Download the `.json` file from your order, open your n8n instance, and navigate to **Workflows → Import from file**. Select the downloaded file to load the workflow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your Dohoo API key">
    In the workflow, locate the Dohoo credential node and enter your API key from **Dohoo dashboard → Settings → API**. A Business or Agency plan is required for API access.

  <Step title="Configure your schedule and source">
    Set your video source (URL pattern or channel connection) and adjust the trigger node to define how often clips are published.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the workflow">
