The 'video_url' is the URL of the video you want to process, and the 'watermark_url' is the URL of the image you want to overlay.
You can control the watermark's position on the video with the 'position' parameter, which has several options including top-left, middle, and bottom-right.
The 'scale' parameter allows for resizing the watermark in relation to the video width, giving you control over its visibility.
