Set the watermark text and size

Choose Text under Watermark Type, then enter and confirm the text in Text Content. This settings example uses ClipDock Demo. The preview shows its position and approximate appearance.

Text and Image*

Text adds a text watermark. Image is the VIP image-watermark option.

Text Size

The slider’s size percentage is 100% in this example. Check the preview to avoid covering the subject, subtitles, or important details.

04

Adjust position and appearance

Scroll to Watermark Position, color, background, stroke, and Opacity. Starred settings require VIP; seeing a default value does not mean it can be changed for free.

Watermark Position

Available positions include all four corners and center. The example uses bottom right. Choose a place clear of the subject and subtitles, checking landscape and portrait sources separately.

Color, background, and stroke

Text Color changes the lettering; Show Background controls its backing; Text Stroke and Stroke Color control the outline. These entries are marked VIP. Check contrast across bright and dark scenes.

Opacity*

The example shows 75%. Lower opacity makes the watermark fainter and potentially harder to read. Changing this parameter requires VIP.
