Prepare Videos from Google Drive for Uploading
Automatically generates engaging titles and descriptions for a batch of videos stored in a Google Drive folder, preparing them for upload to a video platform.
This automation streamlines the tedious process of preparing video content for publishing. Here's how it works:
- Connects to Google Drive: It starts by accessing a Google Drive folder you specify.
- Lists Videos: The automation intelligently scans the folder and identifies all the video files available.
- Generates Titles: For each video, it assigns a unique, catchy title by cycling through a customizable list of templates. This ensures variety and viewer engagement.
- Applies Descriptions: It applies a standard, keyword-rich description and set of hashtags to every video, ensuring brand consistency and improving discoverability.
- Sets Visibility: You can pre-set the visibility for all videos, such as 'Public', 'Unlisted', or 'Private'.
- Reports Results: Finally, it compiles a detailed report of the prepared video metadata. This makes it easy to take the prepared content and move to the next step in your publishing workflow, such as uploading to YouTube, Vimeo, or another platform.
Usage Ideas
- Content Creators: Quickly prepare dozens of short-form videos (like YouTube Shorts, TikToks, or Reels) for publishing, saving hours of manual work.
- Marketing Teams: Stage a series of product demo videos or tutorials with consistent branding and messaging.
- Social Media Managers: Create a large backlog of video content with engaging titles and relevant hashtags, ready for scheduling.
- Internal Communications: Prepare a batch of training videos or company announcements for distribution to your team.

This template is a great starting point for your video publishing pipeline. You can easily customize it to fit your specific needs:
- Use Any Google Drive Folder: Simply provide the ID of your Google Drive folder to point the automation at your video library.
