Watermark Settings

Notes

• You can only add watermarks 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 Default for Watermark Template in a transcoding template.

Constraints

• 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.
