AddWatermark - ApsaraVideo VOD

Creates an image or text watermark template. ApsaraVideo VOD allows you to create watermark templates to reuse your parameter configurations such as watermark position, size, font, and color. Each watermark template is assigned a unique ID. This simplifies the processing of watermark tasks.

Operation description

You can call this operation to create an Image watermark template or a Text watermark template. You can use static images in the PNG format or dynamic images in the GIF, APNG, and MOV formats as image watermarks.
After you call this operation to create a watermark template, you must call the AddTranscodeTemplateGroup or UpdateTranscodeTemplateGroup operation to associate the watermark template with a transcoding template group. This way, you can add watermarks to videos during transcoding.
For more information, see Video watermarks.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
