Quick Start
Prerequisites
API Key Setup: Supports both Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
The skill checks for GEMINI_API_KEY in this order:
- Process environment:
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key" - Project root:
.env .claude/.env.claude/skills/.env.claude/skills/ai-multimodal/.env
Get API key: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
For Vertex AI:
```bash
export GEMINI_USE_VERTEX=true
export VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-gcp-project-id
export VERTEX_LOCATION=us-central1 # Optional
```
Install SDK:
```bash
pip install google-genai python-dotenv pillow
```

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
--files audio.mp3 \
--task transcribe \
--model gemini-2.5-flash
```
Analyze Image:
```bash
python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
--files image.jpg \
--task analyze \
--prompt "Describe this image" \
--output docs/assets/
--model gemini-2.5-flash
```
Process Video:
```bash
python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
--files video.mp4 \
--task analyze \
--prompt "Summarize key points with timestamps" \
--output docs/assets/
--model gemini-2.5-flash
```
Extract from PDF:
```bash
python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
--files document.pdf \
--task extract \
--prompt "Extract table data as JSON" \
--output docs/assets/
--format json
```
Generate Image:
```bash
python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
--task generate \
--prompt "A futuristic city at sunset" \
--output docs/assets/
--model gemini-2.5-flash-image \
--aspect-ratio 16:9
```
Optimize Media:
```bash
# Prepare large video for processing
python scripts/media_optimizer.py \
--input large-video.mp4 \
--output docs/assets/
--target-size 100MB
# Batch optimize multiple files

Best Practices
- Use
gemini-2.5-flashfor most tasks (best price/performance) - Use File API for files >20MB or repeated queries
- Optimize media before upload (see
media_optimizer.py) - Process specific segments instead of full videos
- Use lower FPS for static content
- Implement context caching for repeated queries
- Batch process multiple files in parallel
Rate Limits
Free Tier:
- 10-15 RPM (requests per minute)
- 1M-4M TPM (tokens per minute)

YouTube Limits:
- Free tier: 8 hours/day
- Paid tier: No length limits
- Public videos only
Storage Limits:
- 20GB per project
- 2GB per file
- 48-hour retention
Error Handling
Common errors and solutions:
- 400: Invalid format/size - validate before upload
- 401: Invalid API key - check configuration
- 403: Permission denied - verify API key restrictions
- 404: File not found - ensure file uploaded and active
- 429: Rate limit exceeded - implement exponential backoff
- 500: Server error - retry with backoff
