How to automate watermarking short videos before posting

Automation & No-Code, Video & Audio, Social Media

Define your watermark asset (logo or text) and decide its placement (e.g., bottom-right). Configure a video processing step to apply the watermark consistently across files.

Test with a few videos, then batch-process longer lists. Review results in WordPress drafts before publishing.
