Hey n8n community!
Sharing a workflow I built using WayinVideo Find Moments API that automatically extracts the most relevant clips from any interview recording — uploads each one to Google Drive, logs them in a Google Sheet library, and sends you a confirmation email with all the links. No editing software, no manual scrubbing.
What It Does
Paste an interview URL, describe what moments you want in plain English, add your email — the workflow finds those exact moments, downloads the rendered clip files, uploads them to Drive with clean filenames, saves the metadata to a sheet, and emails you when everything is ready.
How It Works
1. Form — collects five things:
- Interview recording URL (Zoom, YouTube, Loom etc.)
- Guest name
- Interview topic or category
- What moments to extract — plain English like “career advice and turning point moments”
- Email address to receive the confirmation
2. HTTP Request — Submit to WayinVideo — sends the video URL and search query to the Find Moments API. It scans the full recording and returns up to 5 matching clips — each with a title, timestamp, description, relevance score, tags, and a rendered download link with captions already added
3. Wait 90 Seconds — gives WayinVideo time to process and render the clips
4. HTTP Request — Poll Results — fetches the clips using the task ID returned in step 2
5. IF Node — checks if clips are ready. Not ready → waits 30 more seconds and checks again. Loops until status = SUCCEEDED
6. Code Node — splits the clips array into individual items so each clip gets processed separately through the next steps
7. HTTP Request — downloads each rendered clip as a video file from the WayinVideo export link
8. Google Drive — uploads each clip to your configured folder. Filename is auto-generated as GuestName_Clip_1_Score_87.mp4 — guest name, clip number, and relevance score all in the name
9. Google Sheets — saves full clip metadata to your Interview Clip Library — guest name, topic, query used, clip title, description, timestamp, score, tags, Drive link, and date
10. Gmail — sends a confirmation email with the original recording link and a note to check the Google Sheet for all Drive clip links
What Gets Saved to Google Sheets
Each clip creates one row in the Interview Clip Library tab:
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| Guest Name | From form |
| Topic | From form |
| Query | What you searched for |
| Clip Title | AI generated |
| Description | Clip summary |
| Timestamp | Start → End in seconds |
| Score | Relevance score |
| Tags | AI tags |
| Drive Link | Permanent Google Drive URL |
Setup Steps
- Add your WayinVideo API key in the two HTTP Request nodes — Submit Find Moments and Get Clips Result — Find Moments API Docs
- Connect your Google Drive OAuth2 credential and replace the folder ID
- Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 credential and replace the Sheet ID
- Connect your Gmail account via Google OAuth2
- Create a sheet tab named exactly Interview Clip Library
- Activate the workflow and open the Form URL
One Thing Worth Knowing
Use descriptive queries — 4 to 6 words minimum. Vague queries like “tips” or “advice” return empty results. Something like “career advice and turning point moments” or “failure and comeback story” works well. This is how the Find Moments API is designed — the more specific your description, the better the matches.
Works With
YouTube, Zoom cloud recordings, Vimeo, Loom — any public video URL. Full list of supported platforms in the WayinVideo API Docs.
