How to Automate Short-Form Video Processing with Google Cloud Functions?

Google Cloud Serverless Applications
1

Hi everyone,

I’m experimenting with automating short-form video workflows using Google Cloud Functions and Cloud Storage.

My goal is to upload a short clip, trigger a Cloud Function, and automatically process or compress the video before storing it. I want to optimize it for mobile platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts.

Has anyone tried something similar using serverless functions for video editing or transcoding? I’m currently using CapCut for quick mobile editing and want to understand how I can replicate a similar process in the cloud using Google’s tools.

I used Cloud Functions to trigger video processing with Cloud Storage and Pub/Sub, then handled editing with Media Transcoder API. Logging everything in Cloud Logging helped track down any issues fast.
