Why You Should Watermark Your Content

By Sarah Johnson

In an era where content is shared, reposted, and sometimes stolen within seconds, protecting your creative work is more important than ever. A watermark is a simple yet effective way to claim ownership of your videos.

Benefits of Watermarking

  • Copyright Protection: It discourages unauthorized use and makes it clear who the original creator is.
  • Brand Awareness: Even if your video is shared without a link, your logo or handle remains visible, driving traffic back to you.
  • Professional Look: A subtle, well-placed watermark adds a layer of professionalism to your content.

Types of Watermarks

You can use different types of watermarks depending on your needs:

  • Logo: Great for businesses and brands. Place it in a corner with reduced opacity.
  • Text: Ideal for creators. Use your social media handle (e.g., @freevidosedit).
  • Tiled: A pattern repeated across the screen for maximum protection (often used for stock footage previews).
