How the FFmpeg command works
-i {{in_1}} — input video-i {{in_logo}} — second input: logo PNG (with transparency if desired)-filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=W-w-10:10" — place logo 10 px from the top-right corner
W-w-10 = video width − logo width − 10 px padding10 = 10 px from the top
-c:v libx264 -c:a copy — re-encode video (needed after filter), pass audio through
Position shortcuts:
- Top-left:
overlay=10:10
- Top-right:
overlay=W-w-10:10
- Bottom-left:
overlay=10:H-h-10
- Bottom-right:
overlay=W-w-10:H-h-10
- Center:
overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2
