Description

n8n-nodes-incarn

This is an n8n community node for Incarn. It
animates old family photos and ancestor portraits into short, lifelike videos
(a blink, a breath, a slight smile), keeping the face exactly the same.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation | Operations | Credentials | Usage | Resources

Installation

Follow the installation guide
in the n8n community nodes documentation. The package name is n8n-nodes-incarn.

Operations

Animation

• Create: animates a photo (binary file from a previous node, or a public image URL),

with an optional motion prompt. Can wait for the video (usually 1 to 3 minutes) and
attach the MP4 as a binary file. Uses 1 credit.

• Get: returns the status (processing, succeeded or failed) and the video URL of

an animation, and can attach the MP4.

Account

• Get: returns the account email and the remaining credits.

Credentials

Create an API key on incarn.co/en/developers
(it starts with iklive), then add an Incarn API credential in n8n and paste the
key. n8n checks it against GET /v1/account.

API animations are prepaid: each one uses 1 credit and is delivered in full HD,
without a watermark.

Usage

Typical workflow: Google Drive Trigger (new photo) → Incarn (Create, Wait for
Video on, Options > Download Video on) → Google Drive (upload the MP4).

Accepted photos: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 15 MB. Without a prompt, Incarn uses its
default gentle motion. Prompts (Options > Motion Prompt) are written in English and
describe the motion only.

Instead of waiting, you can set Options > Webhook URL to an n8n Webhook node:
Incarn calls it with the animation (same JSON as Get) when the video is ready.

Errors are explicit: an invalid key (401), no credits left (402), or too many
animations running at once (429).

Compatibility

Built and tested with n8n-workflow 2.16 (n8n 2.x). No runtime dependencies.
