Preset

Add Logo Watermark to Video Automatically

Automatically add watermarks to videos with ffpipe and n8n. Protect your content with logos, branding, or copyright notices.

What It Does

Automatically overlays a watermark image (logo, copyright notice, or branding) onto your video. Customize the position, size, and opacity to match your brand. Perfect for protecting intellectual property, adding channel attribution, or ensuring brand consistency across video content.

How It Works with n8n

This preset integrates seamlessly with n8n automation workflows. Simply add the ffpipe HTTP node to your workflow, configure the preset and input URL, and the video processing happens automatically in the background. Results are returned via webhook or polling, allowing you to continue your workflow immediately.

The workflow handles all the heavy lifting: file validation, encoding, output optimization, and error handling. No need to manage servers or monitor processing status — ffpipe takes care of everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats work for watermarks?

PNG, JPEG, and GIF images all work as watermarks. PNG with transparency is recommended for best results.

Can I position the watermark anywhere on the video?

Yes, you can specify x,y coordinates to place the watermark anywhere. Common positions include top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right corners.

Can I adjust watermark size and opacity?

You can control size through scaling parameters and opacity through FFmpeg filter settings. Check the full API documentation for all customization options.

Does watermarking slow down processing?

Watermarking adds minimal processing time. Most videos complete within 1-3x the video duration, regardless of whether watermarking is applied.
