CORE Watermarks: Overview, Specifications, & Display Comparison
CORE Watermarks: Overview, Specifications, & Display Comparison
Updated over a year ago

CORE offers several different watermarks which can be applied to:

  • user roles for when users view files in the systems,

  • to a specific production,

  • and to files when users download a package.

Moreover, admins and role managers can apply different watermarks to different file types.

Below is a reference and specifications guide to the out-of-the-box viewable watermarks available in your system. Looking for Forensic Watermarking? Try our Forensic FAQs or Adding Forensic Watermarks to Video.

Watermarks Displayed for the User

Watermarks appear on files displayed in the Asset Player, also called the Viewer.

The watermark a user sees is first determined by their user role. However, this may be overridden by a production watermark.

A production watermark applies a specific set of watermarks to all files associated with that production. So if a user has access to more than one production, they'll see their user role watermarks on all files related to other projects, and the production watermarks on the designated production.

Choosing and Applying User Watermarks: Admins and Role Managers

In User Roles, and in user profiles where you want to apply overrides to role watermarks, you can view and select watermarks in:

1. User Roles' Role Info Tab on a role, then scroll to the bottom

2. User Profile Rules Override Tab, the Access Override Sub-Tab and scroll to the bottom

Choosing and Applying Production Watermarks: Admins

When productions request specific watermarks be applied to their projects, Admins can change those watermarks within the Admin Dashboard module Production Admin.

In the same place you apply the dashboard thumbnail for the production, you can also apply its watermark. These are the watermarks ALL users in the system will see when they access files tagged under that project or production.

Watermarks Overrides Hierarchy

  1. The user role watermarks are the basic watermarks that all users will see in the system when viewing files.

  2. A user with watermarks overrides on their profile will override their user role watermarks.

  3. Production watermarks override all designated watermarks.


Your CORE System Watermarks: Admins

In your Admin Dashboard, there's a Watermarks module. Here you'll find listed all watermarks within your system. If you have any custom watermarks, they'll also be listed here.

The watermark manager shows you a preview, the type of file it is associated with, the name of the watermark, and the filename of the watermark file.
