Batch trim clips from a spreadsheet of start and end times

To cut a long video into Shorts from a spreadsheet, read a CSV with start and end columns and send one Video trim request per row. Each trim costs $0.02 (Sume docs, read 2026-10-03), so 30 rows cost $0.60. Mark the moments yourself or from a transcript, and keep a column for the idempotency key so a rerun never cuts the same row twice.

The sheet

Keep one row per clip.

Submit, poll, write back

Submit each row, poll the job until it is terminal, and write the result URL back to the sheet. Check GET /v1/jobs/:id/result for the output; do not assume a submit means success. Re-run only rows with an empty result_url. Verify the exact field names in the Video trim doc before you write the loop.

A trimmed clip alone is the same content; add your own commentary before posting, as discussed in the podcast clip post.
