Dealing with raw footage is a nightmare. I was wasting hours downloading 50GB video files from Drive just to pull a single 10-second soundbite or b-roll shot.
I ended up building a workflow hack for myself to skip the downloading entirely. It's a Telegram bot where you just paste the Drive link, type a keyword (like a spoken phrase or a visual object like "red coffee mug"), and it scans the cloud and gives you the exact timestamp instantly.
No downloading, no heavy software. It's basically a search engine for your raw footage.
I just polished it up and hosted it online. I need people to test it and tell me what breaks. If you deal with large video files and want to try it out, drop a comment below and I’ll DM you the link and a code for 100 free searches.
