Note:

The resolution of uploaded image can not be over the video. If the resolution of the video is 1920*1080, and the uploaded image is 3840*2160, then the image overlay will fail to display.

Please pay attention to the overlay position, if you add image, text and time with the same position, then some overlay may fail to display.

If the added image occupies the majority of the video screen, the actual bitrate and the set bitrate will be greatly reduced due to the low screen dynamic fluctuation.

For the image format, only JPEG and PNG supported.
