Reposition watermark on video at different positions every minute without plugin


I want to change the position of the watermark on the video after every minute, like on the top right, after a minute on the left top, etc. Such random positions while on going video. I have added watermark by CSS and jquery.

JQUERY PART-

var email = "testing"; // email varibale was set in one of php file.
var content = '<style>.parent-video:before{content: "'+email+'";}</style>';
$('head').append(content);

CSS PART-

.parent-video::before {  //this is div, parent of video element
    position: absolute;
    opacity: 0.8;
    background: #fff;
    color: #414040;
    font-size: 10px;
    top: 5px;
    right: 10px;
    max-width: 16%;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    max-height: 75%;
}
.parent-video .child-video { // .child-video is video element
    position: unset !important;
}

Solution

  • CSS

    A simple method could be using a CSS animation with duration of 240s. Positions are not random, but it's an easy way to do it:

    .parent-video::before {
        position: absolute;
        opacity: 0.8;
        background: #fff;
        color: #414040;
        font-size: 80px;
        max-width: 16%;
        word-wrap: break-word;
        max-height: 75%;
        animation: watermark infinite 240s;
    }
    
    
    
    @keyframes watermark {
            0% {
                bottom: unset;
                top: 5px;
                right: 10px;
                left: unset;
            }
            25% {
                top: unset;
                bottom: 5px;
                left: 10px;
                right: unset;
            }
            50% {
                bottom: unset;
                top: 5px;
                left: 10px;
                right: unset;
            }
            75% {
                top: unset;
                bottom: 5px;
                right: 10px;
                left: unset;
            }
        }
    

    JQuery

    Alternativly, you can use JQuery and make it random. First of all, you have to create 4 CSS classes (4 positions) because JQuery cannot access pseudoclass's style directly.

    So, this is the CSS:

    .parent-video.watermark-top::before {
        bottom: unset;
        top: 5px;
    }
    
    .parent-video.watermark-bottom::before {
        bottom: 5px;
        top: unset;
    }
    
    .parent-video.watermark-left::before {
        left: 10px;
        right: unset;
    }
    
    .parent-video.watermark-right::before {
        left: unset;
        right: 10px;
    }
    

    The script will run forever every 60 seconds. There is a 50% chance that the watermark is aligned top or bottom and 50% that it is aligned left or right.

    function move() {
    
        var element = $('.parent-video');
        if (Math.random() > 0.5) //align left
            element.addClass("watermark-left").removeClass("watermark-right");
        else //align right
            element.addClass("watermark-right").removeClass("watermark-left");
    
        if (Math.random() > 0.5) //align top
            element.addClass("watermark-top").removeClass("watermark-bottom");
        else //align right
            element.addClass("watermark-bottom").removeClass("watermark-top");
    
    
    }
    
    
    
    window.setInterval(move, 60000); //invoke!
    

    To stop infinite loop use clearInterval().

    Being random, it implicitly allow your watermark to maintain the same position for many times.
