How to overlay a full screen video

The following procedure describes how to display a full screen video overlay for a duration that you specify.

To add a video overlay by using the MediaConvert console:

  1. Open the Create job page in the MediaConvert console.

  2. Specify an input video. For more information, see Step 1: Input files in Configuring jobs.

  3. In the settings for your input, next to Video overlays, choose Add overlay.

  4. Specify an Input file URL.

  5. Specify a Start timecode.

  6. Specify an End timecode.

  7. Optionally add any Input clips for your video overlay.

To specify a video overlay using the API, SDK, or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), include VideoOverlays in your job settings JSON.

The following is an excerpt of a job settings JSON that specifies a full screen video overlay at timecode 00:10:00:00 for one minute from a clipped input:
