In today's digital landscape, adding a unique watermark to your videos is essential for branding and copyright protection. With FFMPEGAPI.net, you can seamlessly integrate video watermarking into your application using a simple REST API call. In this article, we’ll explore how to use the 'Add Watermark' endpoint to enhance your video content.

What is the Add Watermark Endpoint?

The 'Add Watermark' endpoint allows developers to overlay a watermark image onto a video file. This can be crucial for automating branding processes in SaaS applications, video content pipelines, and more.

  • Effortlessly add watermarks to videos.
  • Configurable placement and scaling options.
  • Ideal for developers looking to enhance user-generated content.

How to Use the Add Watermark Endpoint

To use the Add Watermark feature, you'll need to make a POST request to the /api/add_watermark endpoint. This API call requires you to specify the video URL, watermark image URL, and optional parameters for placement and scale.

  • Method: POST
  • Path: /api/add_watermark
  • Content Type: application/json
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/add_watermark'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
    'watermark_url': 'https://example.com/logo.png',
    'position': 'bottom-right',
    'scale': 0.2
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())

Parameters for Customization

You have several parameters at your disposal to customize how the watermark is applied to your video. Here's a breakdown of these parameters:

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video to process.
  • watermark_url (string, required): The URL of the watermark image.
  • position (string, optional): Determines where the watermark appears on the video. Default is 'bottom-right'.
