Steps 2-6: Complete Automation Setup
Step 2: Set Up Automation (Make.com)

Step 3: Image Analysis with OpenAI

"you are an expert image anylser for a real estate agent who will give you an image and you ill output what part of the property it is , and benefits of the property so that your output can be combined with he other image description to be used in an video voice over. don't focus on the voice over, just focus on the image whats in it and what part of the house it is." - Set Image Input Type as "URL"
- Connect the URL from the iterator module to this input
🔧 Technical Setup: Iterators & Aggregators
To handle multiple images, you'll need to add iterator and array aggregator modules:
- Add Iterator: Search "iterator" in Make.com, select the file upload array from your form
- Add Array Aggregator: After Runway module, set source as Form Fillout, include OpenAI results and submission data
- Add Text Aggregator: Combines all OpenAI descriptions into one text block for the voiceover

Don't worry if this seems technical - just follow the template structure exactly!

- Enter the exact prompt from the template:
"Smooth slow cinematic stable camera movement showcasing this beautiful property. Start wide, slowly push in to highlight key architectural details and design features, then gently pull back to reveal the full space. Professional real estate cinematography style with subtle motion that emphasizes the property's appeal and quality. 5 second duration, elegant and sophisticated movement." - Set duration: "5 seconds" and ratio: "1280 x 768" (YouTube landscape style)
Step 5: Create Voiceover (Gemini AI & ElevenLabs)
Gemini AI Script Generation (47-50 seconds):
- Add Gemini AI module: Select "Gemini 2.5 Pro"
- Enter the exact prompt from the template:
"You are a video voiceover generator. You will be given 10 images and a description of them images. You will create a voiceover for real estate agents on the 10 property images and the descriptions of them images. Most remember each image that is given to you will be converted into a five second clip. So when talking about that property or when talking about that specific image, then make sure it's about five seconds long worth of text. I want you to practically combine all images so that when you are outputting the actual voiceover, it flows smoothly from image to image. You must just output the voiceover with nothing else, just the voiceover text. We don't need you to output scenes or what needs to happen, just output the voiceover text. IMPORTANT: Format your response as clean, continuous text suitable for text-to-speech. Output as a single paragraph with no line breaks, no special characters, no quotes, no backslashes, and no unusual formatting. Use only standard punctuation like periods, commas, exclamation marks, and question marks. Make it TTS-ready plain text only. Here are the images and image descriptions in sequence: [Text Aggregator Output] Make sure the length of the text matches 47-50 seconds. Make sure not to overspeak and talk about each image as they arrive with smart flow so we can naturally transition." - Connect the Text Aggregator output to provide image descriptions
ElevenLabs Voice Synthesis:
- Visit ElevenLabs, sign up for free, copy API key from "My Workspace" → "API Keys"
- In Make.com, add ElevenLabs module
- Choose a voice (example uses "Guy Man" for Irish accent, or select your preferred voice)
- Use model "Flash 2.5" for faster processing
- Paste your API key and connect the Gemini text output
Google Drive Upload (Required for JSON2Video):
- Add Google Drive "Upload a File" module
- Connect the ElevenLabs audio output as the file
- Select a folder ID from your Google Drive
- Add another Google Drive "Get a Share Link" module
- Set permissions to "Anyone" so JSON2Video can access the audio
- Connect the File ID from the upload module
Step 6: Combine Video and Audio (JSON2Video)
- Visit JSON2Video, sign up for free (they'll email you an API key)
- In Make.com, add JSON2Video module
- Choose "Create a List of Videos with Background Audio"
- Set number of video items to 10 (or however many images you're processing)
- For each video URL slot (1-10), connect the generated video array from Runway:
- Item 1: Generated Videos[1]
- Item 2: Generated Videos[2]
- Continue for all 10 items...
- For background audio, use the Google Drive share link from Step 5
- Set volume to "medium" and fade-out to "no fade out"
📋 Final Result:
Your automation will create a complete cinematic property video with professional voiceover in about 3-5 minutes. Check your JSON2Video "Render Logs" to view and download the finished video!
