🎥 Analyze YouTube Video for Summaries, Transcripts & Content + Google Gemini

Who is this for?

This workflow is ideal for content creators, video marketers, and research professionals who need to extract actionable insights, detailed transcripts, or metadata from YouTube videos efficiently. It is particularly useful for those leveraging AI tools to analyze video content and optimize audience engagement.

What problem does this workflow solve? / Use case

Analyzing video content manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This workflow automates the process by extracting key metadata, generating summaries, and providing structured transcripts tailored to specific use cases. It helps users save time and ensures accurate data extraction for content optimization.

What this workflow does

  • Extracts audience-specific metadata (e.g., video type, tone, key topics, engagement drivers).
  • Generates customized outputs based on six prompt types:
    • Default: Actionable insights and strategies.
    • Transcribe: Verbatim transcription.
    • Timestamps: Timestamped dialogue.
    • Summary: Concise bullet-point summary.
    • Scene: Visual descriptions of settings and techniques.
    • Clips: High-engagement video segments with timestamps.
  • Saves extracted data as a text file in Google Drive.
  • Sends analyzed outputs via Gmail or provides them in a completion form.

Setup

  1. Configure API keys:
    • Add your Google API key as an environment variable.
  2. Input requirements:
    • Provide the YouTube video ID (e.g., wBuULAoJxok).
    • Select a prompt type from the dropdown menu.
  3. Connect credentials:
    • Set up Google Drive and Gmail integrations in n8n.

How to customize this workflow to your needs

  • Modify the metadata prompt to extract additional fields relevant to your use case.
  • Adjust the output format for summaries or transcripts based on your preferences (e.g., structured bullets or plain text).
  • Add nodes to integrate with other platforms like Slack or Notion for further collaboration.

Example Usage

  1. Input: YouTube video ID (wBuULAoJxok) and prompt type (summary).
  2. Output: A concise summary highlighting actionable insights, tools, and resources mentioned in the video.
