Turn YouTube Videos into Summaries, Transcripts, and Visual Insights

This workflow is designed for:

• Content Creators: Those who produce video content and need efficient ways to summarize or transcribe their videos.
• Marketers: Professionals looking to extract actionable insights and clips for social media marketing.
• Educators: Teachers and trainers who want to create summaries or transcripts for educational videos.
• Researchers: Individuals conducting research who require detailed analyses or transcripts of video materials.
• Business Analysts: Analysts needing to derive insights from video presentations or webinars for strategic decisions.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually transcribing or summarizing YouTube videos, which can be time-consuming and tedious. By automating this process, users can quickly obtain detailed transcripts, summaries, and visual insights, allowing them to focus on content analysis and decision-making rather than the mechanics of transcription.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks 'Test workflow'.
2. Define Initial Variables: Set up key variables such as automationID, apiKey, youtubeURL, and promptType to prepare for the API call.
3. Switch Node: Based on the promptType, the workflow determines which type of output is requested (transcript, summary, scene description, etc.).
4. Set Prompts: Depending on the output type, relevant prompts are prepared for the API call to Google.
   • For transcripts, the prompt specifies to transcribe spoken dialogue only.
   • For summaries, the prompt requests a concise summary of key points.
5. HTTP Request: The workflow sends a POST request to the Google API, including the prepared prompts and the YouTube video URL.
6. Merge Data: After receiving the response, the workflow merges the new data with previous information for a comprehensive output.
7. Define Outcome: Finally, the workflow structures the output, making it easy for users to access the generated content, including error handling if necessary.
