The Overlay Designer lets you configure your logo placement, branding colours, intro frame, and outro card — and applies them automatically to every clip Short Shorts AI generates. Consistent brand identity at scale.
Upload your logo, set your colours, configure your intro and outro — every future clip is branded automatically, no Premiere Pro required.
Use cases
What you get
Upload your logo PNG (ideally with transparent background) and configure its position (corner, top bar, lower third) and size. Applied to every frame of every clip.
Customise subtitle font, size, colour, and outline weight to match your brand. The same style is used across all clips — captions always look on-brand.
Upload a custom intro image or video clip (e.g. a 1-second animated logo reveal) that prepends every generated Short — instantly recognisable as your content.
Add a branded outro card at the end of each clip — subscribe reminders, website URL, other channel links. Upload a static image or short video clip.
On multi-tenant plans, each customer's branding is stored and applied separately. One account can't accidentally use another's logo — isolation is enforced at the database level.
Preview your overlay configuration on a sample clip before committing. See exactly how the logo, captions, and intro/outro will look on real content.
How it works
Your overlay configuration (logo URL, position, subtitle style, intro/outro paths) is stored in the customer_config table. The worker fetches your config by customer_id before processing any clip.
The overlay is applied using FFmpeg's filter_complex — stitching the video, logo watermark, burned-in subtitles, intro prepend, and outro append into a single render pass. No intermediate files, no quality loss from multiple encodes.
Each clip in the batch gets the full overlay treatment — logo, captions, intro, outro. The final MP4 is the exact file that gets uploaded to YouTube and X, with branding baked in permanently.
Flexible workflow
Use clean defaults for a professional look, or configure every detail to match your brand guidelines exactly.
