Notionから動画へ：行の変更で自動レンダリングするMake

Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com You've got a Notion database full of product names, launch dates, and promo copy. Every time you add or update a row, someone has to manually open a video editor, swap in the new text, export, and upload. That process takes 15 minutes if you're fast. There's a better way. Connect Notion to Make.com, hit the FFmpeg Micro API on every row change, and get a rendered video back automatically. Why Notion + Make + FFmpeg Micro Notion works well as a lightweight CMS. Make.com watches for changes in that Notion database and fires off actions. FFmpeg Micro handles the actual video rendering via a simple REST API. The full loop: Notion row updates, Make picks it up, Make calls FFmpeg Micro with the row data as a text overlay on a template video, and the rendered file URL comes back in the response. The FFmpeg Micro API Request The @text-overlay option burns text directly onto your template video: { "inputs" : [ { "url" : "{{1.properties.Template Video URL.url}}" } ], "outputFormat" : "mp4" , "options" : [ { "option" : "@text-overlay" , "argument" : { "text" : "{{1.properties.Title.title[0].plain_text}}" , "style" : { "fontSize" : 48 , "charsPerLine" : 20 , "lineSpacing" : 12 , "x" : "(w-text_w)/2" , "y" : "(h-text_h)/2" } } } ] } Test it outside of Make with curl: curl -X POST https://api.ffmpeg-micro.com/v1/transcodes \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "inputs": [{"url": "https://storage.example.com/template.mp4"}], "outputFormat": "mp4", "options": [{"option": "@text-overlay", "argument": {"text": "Product Launch: Acme Widget", "style": {"fontSize": 48, "charsPerLine": 20, "x": "(w-text_w)/2", "y": "(h-text_h)/2"}}}] }' Common Pitfalls Triggering on every edit : Gate renders behind a Status value like "Ready to Render" Template not accessible : FFmpeg Micro fetches via URL, so ensure it's publicly reachable Text overflow : Set reasonable charsPerLine values for your template Make.com timeouts : Bump HTTP module timeout to 60+ seconds FAQ Does Make.com trigger on new rows or just updates? Both. Use "Watch Database Items" for updates or "Watch Database Items (Created)" for new rows. How long does a render take? 3-8 seconds for a 30-second template with text overlay. What formats work? Any format FFmpeg can decode as input, including MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI. Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com You've got a Notion database full of product names, launch dates, and promo copy.
