Introduction
Adding brand elements like logo, overlays styles, elevate your video content to a new levels of professionalism. This tutorial will guide you through the process of integrating logos and custom text assets, ensuring your brand shines through in every frame.
For this tutorial, we’ll add Kyvos’ branding to
video, through image and text assets and see how those can be modified to enhance the content of raw footage. Although this is a quick example, the possibilities are endless! We look forward to seeing your experiments with these building blocks.Setup

🔑 API Keys
import videodb
import os
from getpass import getpass
# Prompt user for API key securely
api_key = getpass("Please enter your VideoDB API Key: ")
os.environ["VIDEO_DB_API_KEY"] = api_key
Implementation
📋 Step 1: Connect to VideoDB
Begin by establishing a connection to VideoDB using your API key:
from videodb import connect
# Connect to VideoDB using your API key
conn = connect()
coll = conn.get_collection()
🎬 Step 2: Upload Video and Image Assets
Begin the branding process by uploading your video and image assets (base video and logo image) to VideoDB:
from videodb import MediaType
# Upload Video to VideoDB
video = coll.upload(url="https://youtu.be/ps3cNAcPEMs")
# Upload Image asset for branding
image = coll.upload(url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/video-db/videodb-cookbook-assets/main/images/examples/Kyvos_Logo.png", media_type=MediaType.image)
print(f"Video ID: {video.id}")
print(f"Image ID: {image.id}")

🎨 Step 3: Add Brand Elements to Video
We'll define the text asset with styling parameters and create video/image assets for use in our timeline.
The new Editor SDK uses a Track and Clip pattern for composing video. Each asset is wrapped in a Clip with duration and positioning controls.
from videodb.editor import (
Timeline, Track, Clip,
VideoAsset, ImageAsset, TextAsset,
Font, Border, Shadow, Background,
Alignment, HorizontalAlignment, VerticalAlignment, TextAlignment,
Position, Offset
)
# Create the text asset with new styling parameters
text_asset = TextAsset(
text="Visit kyvosinsights.com today!",
font=Font(family="PT Sans", size=38, color="#F58C29"),
border=Border(color="#1D1C21", width=1),
background=Background(color="#29272D", border_width=6, opacity=1.0),
alignment=Alignment(
horizontal=HorizontalAlignment.center,
vertical=VerticalAlignment.top
),
)
# Specify the video asset (trimmed from 0 to 44 seconds)
video_asset = VideoAsset(id=video.id, start=0)
video_duration = 44
# Image asset with positioning via Clip parameters
image_asset = ImageAsset(id=image.id)
🔍 Step 4: Add Brand Elements to Video
Now we'll bring all assets together using the Timeline, Track, and Clip pattern. The video goes on the main track, while overlays (logo and text) go on a separate track with their start times.
from videodb.editor import Timeline, Track, Clip
timeline = Timeline(conn)
# Create the main video track
video_track = Track()
video_clip = Clip(asset=video_asset, duration=video_duration)
video_track.add_clip(0, video_clip)
timeline.add_track(video_track)
# Create overlay track for logo & text
overlay_track = Track()
# Add logo overlay (starts at 2.5s, duration 36s)
logo_clip = Clip(
asset=image_asset,
duration=36,
fit=None,
scale=0.15,
position=Position.top_right,
offset=Offset(x=-0.02, y=0.02)
)
overlay_track.add_clip(2.5, logo_clip)
# Add text overlay (starts at 42s, duration 2s)
text_clip = Clip(
asset=text_asset,
duration=2,
position=Position.top,
offset=Offset(y=0.05)
)
overlay_track.add_clip(42, text_clip)
timeline.add_track(overlay_track)
🎥 Step 5: Review and Share
Review your branded video to ensure it aligns perfectly with your brand identity, then share it with your audience:
from videodb import play_stream
# Preview the branded video
stream_url = timeline.generate_stream()
play_stream(stream_url)
