Workflow Overview: This workflow automate the process of dubbing videos into Spanish and storing them in a dedicated Google Drive folder using Zapier and VideoDB. The goal is to enhance content accessibility, optimize workflow efficiency, and conserve resources, allowing for seamless management of multilingual video content.
Goals:
Automate the process of dubbing videos into Spanish. Store the dubbed videos in a specified Google Drive folder. Optimize workflow efficiency by minimizing unnecessary triggers and conserving credits. Prerequisites:
A Zapier account to create and manage workflows. Access to videodb (VideoDB) with an active API key. A configured Google Drive account with a folder called "Dubbed Videos" for storage. The ability to create forms via interfaces.zapier.com for video submissions. A basic understanding of how Zapier workflows (zaps) function. Detailed Steps:
Workflow 1: Upload and Indexing Process
Use interfaces.zapier.com to create a video submission form. The form should capture the video name and URL, which can be a downloadable link or a YouTube link. Create a new Zap in Zapier. Set the trigger to be a form submission from Zapier Interfaces. Choose the interface and specific form created for video submissions. Video Upload and Indexing: Add an action step using videodb to upload and index the video. Connect to videodb using your API key. Pass the video name and URL from the form submission. Use "dubvideo" as the target label to ensure specific workflow triggering. Test the step to verify that a job ID is returned, indicating the process is in progress. Once verified, publish this initial workflow to make it active. Workflow 2: Dubbing and Storage Process
Create a new Zap in Zapier. Set the trigger to "New Video Uploaded and Indexed" from videodb. Use the target label "dubvideo" to ensure this workflow is only triggered for designated tasks. Add an action step for autodubbing the video using videodb. Set the language code to "ES" for Spanish. Test the step to receive a new job ID, indicating the dubbing process has started. Insert a delay action using Zapier's flow control to wait for a specified time (e.g., 5 minutes) to allow the dubbing process to complete. After the delay, check the job status using videodb's action to confirm the dubbing has finished. Add an action step to upload the dubbed video to Google Drive. Select the appropriate account and folder ("Dubbed Videos"). Use the downloadable URL from the completed video job for the file upload. Use the video name with ".mp4" as the extension for the file name. Test and Publish Workflow 2: Test the entire workflow to ensure a dubbed video is correctly uploaded to Google Drive. Once complete, publish this workflow to activate it.
