ApsaraVideo Media Processing:SubmitCopyrightJob

Last Updated:Oct 15, 2026

Submits a video copyright watermark job.

Operation description

  • By default, submitting a video copyright watermark job supports only videos that are 3 minutes or longer. If the video is too short, the API call may fail or produce no output. To add a copyright watermark to a short video that is less than 3 minutes long, you can specify this by using the Params parameter. For more information, see the parameter description.

  • Each API call for submitting a video copyright watermark job adds a watermark to a single video. Submitting multiple videos at the same time is not supported.

  • Digital watermark-related API operations are currently supported only in the China (Shanghai) and China (Beijing) regions. For more information about limits, see Digital watermarking.

  • This API operation is an asynchronous operation. After you submit a job, a job ID is returned. The job is not completed at this time and enters the background queue for asynchronous execution. The final result is notified by using a callback. You can also call the Query a video copyright watermark job operation to query the job status.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
