We've updated the Transcode API—new Image Overlay feature and Content-Type improvements.

Features

• We are introducing our new feature 'image_overlay' for visual watermarking with images. This is a convenient way to add branding or a custom look to your videos. This includes the ability to apply images across stitched inputs, fade images on/off, and adjust position and opacity. Please refer to our How-to Create an Overlay guide for more info.

Improvements

• Content-Type (MIME type) is now automatically set for all outputs for the Transcode API when using credential based storage for Azure, Google Storage, and S3 instead of the generic 'application/octet-stream' type. This allows browsers to display files that are natively supported. If you are using signed upload URLs, please note that the content-type must be set when creating the signed URL before calling the Transcode API.
