ParametersExpand Collapse
account_id: str

The account identifier tag.

maxLength32
file: str

The image file to upload.

name: Optional[str]

A short description of the watermark profile.

opacity: Optional[float]

The translucency of the image. A value of 0.0 makes the image completely transparent, and 1.0 makes the image completely opaque. Note that if the image is already semi-transparent, setting this to 1.0 will not make the image completely opaque.

maximum1
minimum0
padding: Optional[float]

The whitespace between the adjacent edges (determined by position) of the video and the image. 0.0 indicates no padding, and 1.0 indicates a fully padded video width or length, as determined by the algorithm.

maximum1
minimum0
position: Optional[str]

The location of the image. Valid positions are: upperRight, upperLeft, lowerLeft, lowerRight, and center. Note that center ignores the padding parameter.

scale: Optional[float]

The size of the image relative to the overall size of the video. This parameter will adapt to horizontal and vertical videos automatically. 0.0 indicates no scaling (use the size of the image as-is), and 1.0 fills the entire video.

formatdate-time

height: Optional[int]

The height of the image in pixels.

name: Optional[str]

A short description of the watermark profile.

opacity: Optional[float]

The translucency of the image. A value of 0.0 makes the image completely transparent, and 1.0 makes the image completely opaque. Note that if the image is already semi-transparent, setting this to 1.0 will not make the image completely opaque.
