How Do I Add an Image Watermark to a Video?

An image watermark is an image (usually a logo or nickname) laid out on your video to increase brand awareness and protect your video. You can call an API or the transcoding SDK to watermark your video.

API Calling

  1. Upload an image and source video to OBS and record the image address, including the bucket name, region where the bucket is located, and image path. For details, see Uploading Media Files.
  2. Call the API for creating a watermark template.
  3. Call the API for creating a transcoding task. Configure input, output, and watermarks.
  4. Call the API for querying transcoding tasks. If a message indicating that the transcoding is successful is displayed, log in to the OBS console to download the output file based on its path.

SDK Calling

  1. Upload an image and source video to OBS and record the image address, including the bucket name, region where the bucket is located, and image path. For details, see Uploading Media Files.
  2. Create a watermark template and record the watermark template ID.
  3. Set input and output parameters (input and output buckets, region, and input and output file paths) and watermark parameters (image address and template information) when creating a transcoding task and start transcoding.
  4. Query transcoding tasks. If a message indicating that the transcoding is successful is returned, log in to the OBS console to download the output file based on its path. For details, see Downloading a File.
