What it does
!image.png(fileId:3296) This workflow transforms any video you drop into a Google Drive folder into a ready-to-publish YouTube upload. It analyzes the video with AI to craft 3 high-CTR title ideas, 3 long SEO-friendly descriptions (with timestamps), and 10–15 optimized tags. It then generates 4 thumbnail options using your face and lets you pick your favorite before auto-publishing to YouTube via Upload-Post. Who Is This For? - YouTube Creators & Editors: Ship videos with winning titles, thumbnails, and SEO in minutes. - Agencies & Media Teams: Standardize output and speed across channels and clients. - Founders & Solo Makers: Maintain consistent publishing with minimal manual work. What Problem Does It Solve? Producing SEO metadata and high-performing thumbnails is slow and inconsistent. This flow: - Generates High-CTR Options: 3 distinct angles for title/description/tags. - Creates Thumbnails with Your Face: 4 options ready for review in one pass. - Auto-Publishes Safely: Human selection gates reduce risk before going live. How It Works 1. Google Drive Trigger: Watches a folder for new video files. 2. AI Video Analysis (Gemini): Produces an in-depth Spanish description and timestamps. 3. Concept Generation: Returns 3 JSON concepts (title, thumbnail prompt, description, tags). 4. User Review 1: Pick your favorite concept in a simple form. 5. Thumbnail Generation (fal.ai): Creates 4 thumbnails using your face (provided image URL). 6. User Review 2: Choose the best thumbnail. 7.
