Add a Video Layer

For more information about overlay ordering, please refer to this page.

Our API allows you to include any videos you want in the video. The videos you intend to utilize must be registered as assets with a unique assetId.

To add a video layer to the scene, follow these steps:

1. Specify the type of asset item you want to add.
2. Enter the assetId of the video you insert into the scene. For example, we use the video below:

3. Define the variables xPosition and yPosition to specify the position of the video asset in the scene.
4. Define the asset item's height and width.
5. Set the scale factor over the asset's shape.
6. Specify length on how the video will be played. For example, "Loop". The video will play continuously until the end of the video.
7. Specify the video's volume.

📘

Note:

Set to "0.0" to mute the video, while valid values for volume are "0.0" to "1.0".

🚧

Caution:

Don't forget to replace the placeholder "YOUR_API_KEY" with your unique API key in the header. If you haven't obtained one yet, please contact us at [email protected], and we will provide one as soon as possible.

The following is a request example of adding a video layer:

       			 }
     			 ]
