Set a Watermark
After you successfully upload your video file, you will be taken to the Select Your Watermark page to add a watermark to your video. You can customize your watermark by adjusting the following settings:
Position: This is the position where the watermark will appear on your video. You can choose a position for the watermark on the 15-point grid as shown in the image.
Opacity: You can increase or decrease the opacity using the opacity slider. The opacity can be set to any value between 20% to 100%. We recommend setting it to 60% so that the watermark is visible without being intrusive.
Frequency: Choose the amount of time in between watermark appearances. Selecting a higher frequency helps process your video faster. The watermark is displayed for 20 seconds every time it appears on the screener. You can also display the watermark throughout your video with the Always On option.
Note: The duration of your video will determine your frequency options. If the duration of your uploaded video is less than 5 minutes, you can only select Always On in the watermark Frequency section.
Click Save & Next once you have updated these settings. You will reach the Videos page, and your video might still be getting transcoded. Once your video has been successfully transcoded, you will be notified by email that you can send out screeners.
For our long-time users who want to replicate Standard watermarks, which followed a 3-point grid system (top, middle, and bottom), in our current 15-point grid system, you can follow these steps:
Position: In the 15-point grid, the top-left corner of the grid is position 1 and the bottom-right corner is position 15.
Place your watermark on position 5 for the Top position
Place your watermark on position 8 for the Middle position
Place your watermark on position 11 for the Bottom position
Opacity: Set the opacity to 40 but we recommend setting it to 60.
Frequency: Set the frequency of your watermark to Always On.
Note: The watermark settings of videos uploaded before we moved to a 15-point grid system are unaffected.
