Good afternoon to all the friends. I have searched for something on the subject, but I have not found it and would like to know if it is possible to insert an image overlay into a stream vod in the wowza stream engine.
Thanks for asking @andre balthazar,
- Using Transcoder to place overlay images onto video-on-demand streams isn’t supported.
The Wowza Transcoder feature is not available for VOD streams/content. It is something we are considering for the future, but at this time there is not timeframe set on when or if this will become available.
An option to consider:
If you enable the overlay image for the transcoded streams, when the transcoder is re-encoding the streams (you are not using the PassThru option in the transcoder template), this overlay image will be present for the live stream and also the recording of these live streams. Please note that the overlay image will be applied only to the streams generated by the transcoder and not the source live stream.
Merging video with image requires high cpu ( you can record your stream with image as Rose said , also you can merge your video with image with ffmpeg for your existing video ) , alternatively if your client does not use the STB and your contents are watched by your mobile & webapp, you can easily put your image on video element ( watermarking ) ,
Note that : in html5 , the client can remove the image, however you can easily block client not to delete your image tag ( subscribing image tag on javascript, when it deleted, hided or position manupulation )
