Google Video URL Analysis

What it does

Analyzes publicly accessible videos by sending their URL directly to a Google Gemini model. The analyzer accepts a public video URL and a task-specific prompt, then returns text output. Supports multiple analysis types: summaries, question-answering about content, timeline extraction, and content moderation. Run via a Python script with an API key and a concrete prompt specifying the desired output format.

When to use it

• Summarizing a video into bullet points and timestamps
• Asking natural language questions about a video's content
• Extracting a structured timeline of events from a recording
• Checking video content against moderation guidelines

Questions people ask

What video URLs are supported?

The tool accepts any public video URL that Gemini supports as direct URI input. The document shows YouTube URLs as examples.

What API key do I need?

Set the `MAVERICK_GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable. The `MAVERICK_GOOGLE_API_KEY` is also accepted as a fallback.

What does the output look like?

The analyzer returns plain text output. Prompt engineering determines the format — for example, requesting '5 bullets and timestamps' or 'scene-by-scene report' shapes the output structure.
