Before you begin

This page shows how to create a Google Cloud project, enable the Video Stitcher API, create authentication credentials, and grant your account one or more IAM roles.

1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.
2. Install the Google Cloud CLI.

3. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run the following command:

   gcloud init

4. Create or select a Google Cloud project.

   Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

     gcloud projects create PROJECT_ID

     Replace PROJECT_ID with a name for the Google Cloud project you are creating.

   • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

     gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

     Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project name.

5. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

6. Enable the Video Stitcher API:

   gcloud services enable videostitcher.googleapis.com

7. Create local authentication credentials for your Google Account:

   gcloud auth application-default login

8. Grant roles to your Google Account. Run the following command once for each of the following IAM roles: roles/videostitcher.admin

   gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="user:EMAIL_ADDRESS" --role=ROLE

   • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.
