Adding a Watermark to Videos
The add watermark endpoint allows developers to overlay a custom watermark image onto a video. This makes it easy to brand your content and protect your intellectual property.
Here’s how to use the endpoint:
The API accepts a POST request to the endpoint path `/api/add_watermark` and allows optional parameters for positioning and scaling the watermark.
- Endpoint: /api/add_watermark
- Method: POST
- Content-Type: application/json
- Parameters: video_url, watermark_url, position, scale, async
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())curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/add_watermark \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "watermark_url": "https://example.com/logo.png", "position": "bottom-right", "scale": 0.2}'Configuring Watermark Properties
When adding a watermark, you can customize its placement and scale.
The 'position' parameter allows you to place the watermark in various locations like top-left, middle-right, and bottom-center. By default, it is set to bottom-right.
The 'scale' parameter adjusts the watermark width as a fraction of the video width, ranging from 0.05 (5%) to 1.0 (100%). The default scale is set to 0.25 (25%).
- Position options: top-left, top-center, top-right, middle-left, middle, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right
- Scale range: 0.05 to 1.0
