How to Create a Watermark Template

VIDIZMO enables you to create watermark templates for consistent application of watermarks on your content. You can create two types of watermark templates:

  • Encoder: Applied during upload when the encoding workflow runs
  • Export: Applied during download or export

Templates can be created for images, videos, and documents. You can also incorporate dynamic attributes or variables that display content-related information such as title, author name, or upload date.

For more details, see Understanding Watermarking in VIDIZMO.
