Turn Google Drive footage into searchable ad assets.
Connect Drive, import the raw videos and audio your team already stores there, and let Sovran transcribe, tag, search, and reuse that footage for new video ads. When the ads are rendered, send the finished files back to Drive.

Import and Export
Cloud storage becomes creative infrastructure
Most performance teams already have years of creator clips, product demos, testimonials, and B-roll sitting in Google Drive. The problem is that Drive is a storage layer, not a creative testing workspace. Strong moments stay buried in folders, filenames, and shared links.
Sovran's Google Drive integration brings selected Drive files into the Asset Bank, where each imported clip can be transcribed, analyzed, tagged, searched, clipped, edited, and used in modular ad builds. The integration also sends completed video ads back to a saved Drive destination so your team can review, share, and archive finished creative without manual downloads.
Import selected Drive footage
Use Google Picker to choose videos or audio from My Drive, shared files, or shared drives. You can also paste a Drive file or folder URL, confirm the files, and queue them for import into the current Sovran project.
Explicit file selection
Import only the Drive videos and audio files you choose, keeping project libraries focused and permission-aware.
Searchable after import
Imported assets enter Sovran's analysis pipeline for transcription, semantic search, module tagging, and clip discovery.
Export finished ads to Drive
Choose a shared Drive folder once, then export a single completed video, selected videos, or every completed render. Multi-video exports create a timestamped folder so the batch stays organized.
Shared Drive support
Picker views support owned files, shared files, and shared drives so team footage can move into the right project.
Batch export folders
Completed video ads can be pushed back to Drive as clean, reviewable export batches.
How It Works
From Google Drive library to finished video ads
Connect Google Drive
Authenticate with Google OAuth from the Asset Bank or export dialog. Sovran uses scoped access for files you choose and export folders you save.
Choose files or paste a link
Select videos and audio with Google Picker, or paste a Drive file or folder URL to open the right location before importing.
Analyze the footage
Sovran stores the files as project assets, prepares transcripts, tags useful segments, and makes the footage searchable for ad production.
Export completed ads
Send selected or all completed video ads back to the saved Drive folder, with progress tracking and retry support for failed files.
Why It Matters
Make cloud footage usable for creative testing
Bring raw files into the same place where transcripts, tags, clips, edits, renders, and exports already happen.
Stop downloading raw footage
Move cloud-stored videos directly into Sovran instead of downloading large files locally and uploading them again.
Transcribe raw creative libraries
Creator reads, testimonials, demos, and founder footage become transcripts your team can search, inspect, and turn into clips.
Find ad-ready moments faster
Sovran tags imported clips by script role and visual meaning so buyers can find hooks, proof, CTAs, demos, and B-roll without folder hunting.
Share finished batches cleanly
Exported ad batches land in Drive folders your team already uses for review, approval, delivery, and archive.
