Watermark Settings

Notes

• You can add watermarks only during transcoding. Therefore, adding watermarks will incur transcoding fees.
• If you do not need to add watermarks, set all watermark templates as non-default before transcoding, and select the default watermark in a transcoding template.
• If you cannot preview the watermark image, check the domain name configuration.

Constraints

• You can create a maximum of two watermark templates. That is, a maximum of two watermarks can be added to a video.
• Requirements for watermarks are as follows:
  • Watermarks can be PNG, JPG, or JPEG.
  • The resolution of a watermark must be between 8x8 and 4096x4096. The image size cannot exceed 10 MB.
