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/SR__amDl1c8?si=ieqLlLrvFUAuNSmr")
# Upload image asset for branding
image = collection.upload(file_path="/content/Starbucks Logo.png", media_type=MediaType.image)
Here's the logo (image asset) well be using for this tutorial:
🎨 Step 3: Add Brand Elements to Video
We shall begin by defining the text asset (custom text: “When the chaos of the night strikes, find your Starbucks calm.”) and specifications about the image overlay (logo) and video.
For details about the text customization parameters, refer to the documentation for Text Assets.
from videodb.asset import VideoAsset, TextAsset, ImageAsset
from videodb import TextStyle
# Create Video Asset
video_asset = VideoAsset(
asset_id=video.id,
start=0,
end=44
)
# Create Image Asset
image_asset = ImageAsset(
asset_id=image.id,
width=200,
height=40,
x=1050,
y=625,
duration=107
)
# Create text asset
text_asset = TextAsset(
text="When the chaos of the night strikes, \n find your Starbucks calm. \n Sip steady.",
duration=10,
style=TextStyle(
fontsize=38,
fontcolor="FFB800",
font = "Cormorant",
box=False,
y=200,
text_align=3
)
)
Checkout this to know the detailed usage of Text Assets. Go through for detailed reference.
🔍 Step 4: Add Brand Elements to Video
Lastly, we shall bring all these assets together by creating a , and using the video asset as the base.
# Create timeline with the logo & text assets
from videodb.timeline import Timeline
timeline = Timeline(conn)
timeline.add_inline(video_asset)
timeline.add_overlay(3, image_asset)
timeline.add_overlay(0, text_asset)
🎥 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)
Here’s what we got from this quick exercise:
