Is it possible to use transparant videos as a watermark? Use case: - I put music under a static album cover. - I would like to show to people that this actually not is a normal picture (they need to unmute audio). - Idea is to add some animation on top. Maybe an animated gif will do too? But video is even nicer. ---

The idea is actually like the automatic-spotify-preview blog post by @MSSNG Although I use a template and grab all the stuff together in PHP. I did some tests with a watermark, it’s doesn’t accept video (tried .mov and .mp4), but it does accept GIF. Unfortunatily an animated gif shows up as a static 1 frame gif. See the result: [https://basyl.stream/tmp/70f30ec94bca74563efe1264774e2384ef9cca1d.mp4](https://basyl.stream/tmp/70f30ec94bca74563efe1264774e2384ef9cca1d.mp4) As attachment the gif (doesn’t show up, because it falls away in this forum, since it’s transparant background with white).
