Do I have to upload image of specific size to be able to use it as watermark?
You can upload image that is already set in the exact size you would like to use it, however that is not a requirement. We actually recommend adding a bit higher resolution image that you can re-scale using the options in our dashboard instead. That should result in a bit better output of your image.
Do you support transparent images for video bugs?
Yes, we do support transparent watermarks.
Can watermarks be added to few hour long videos?
Yes! Our system allows you to set the watermark you would like to use and then would apply it to all needed videos, regardless of their resolution or length.
Can we allow our customers to add watermark and video at the same time on our form and have them applied together?
Yes, we have few customers offering just the same. The trick is to use our server side SDK to create the watermark effect. Then once created you would have the token of both video and the effect profile and you can use the same to apply the effect onto the video.
This can be done on the new video as well as on existing videos.
