Dynamic Transcoder Overlays

Thanx Richard,

Does it do a full transcode of the video while streaming or just add a layer.

Thanks Lisa,

This would me much awaited add on as this will reduce the load substantially for transcoding.

Any update to dynamic overlay without transcoding the whole video for display text, ticker logos

What’s the status of an API or method to dynamically update overlays? This thread seems old, but I can’t find anything relevant on the wowza website. Has this been released?

Hi Dragelec,

Have you read through this guide?

How to add graphic overlays to live streams with Wowza Transcoder AddOn

And here is the section for how to add image overlay to video:

Hi Dragelec,

Yes, this should work to get the Wowza logo image overlaid on your video, but if you want to use your own images, you would need to set the path to the location of your image.

And if you set the to true, you can make changes to the image and the Transcoder will update the image.

Hi Dragelec,

You have to follow the tutorial very carefully, there is no room for error with these guides. Without knowing how much you have configured it is hard to tell why it is not working.

I suggest starting from the top and working through the tutorial very closely and don’t skip any steps.
