With this system, Zapier will automatically capture important clapperboard information from your video files and save it in a centralized table. This allows your production team to focus on what they do best—creating amazing content—without getting bogged down by administrative tasks.
How the template works
When a new video file is uploaded into a specified Google Drive folder, the Zap triggers Google's Gemini model to analyze the video and capture clapperboard details such as scene, production, date, timestamp, director, roll, camera, and take. All this information along with a link to the original file is then stored in a Zapier table for easy access and organization.
