You can add a watermark to your image assets to display on the asset thumbnail and when a user downloads an asset.
Watermarking is an Advanced Right option that you can enable on individual assets. Advanced Rights allow you to control who has access to particular files. The watermark right can be set on an asset indefinitely or with a specific start date. Only specific users with the appropriate permissions can download the watermarked assets without first requesting permission. All other users can request access to download, which will then be sent to the Waiting Room.
Download watermarked assets directly : Users will still see the watermark on the asset thumbnail but will not have to submit the assets for approval.
Audit download requests: Users can approve or reject the download requests from other users who want to download watermarked materials in the waiting room.
When images are watermarked, they will display the watermark of your choice on the asset thumbnail. Your Onboarding Manager or Customer Success Manager can upload the watermark for you.
-
Send your Onboarding or Customer Success Manager a PNG file with a transparent layer.
-
We recommend using an image 400 pixels wide with a DPI of 72 and the transparency set to 50%. The level of transparency can be adjusted to your needs.
-
The maximum resolution is 800 by 600 pixels.
-
You can set the advanced right to watermark for image, video, audio, and document assets. Although a download request is always required for downloading watermarked material, the watermark itself will not be placed on the preview of audio, document, and video files.
Disabling the preview for watermarked audio, documents, and video assets is possible. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you want to enable this feature.
Note
-
When the preview playback is disabled for watermarked material, this will apply to all watermarked audio, document, and video assets.
-
When the preview for watermarked assets is disabled, even the users with Download watermarked assets directly permission cannot see the preview.
