A photo can be reshot. A video of an inspection, a handover or a trip usually cannot — which is why video watermarks matter. TempoAI Camera records with the same watermark engine it uses for photos: time, address, GPS coordinates, altitude, compass direction, a live map tile, weather and air quality can all be burned into the footage while you record, and LUT filters can grade the picture at the same time.
This guide covers the video side of the app end to end: what the video watermark can contain, how the filter and LUT tabs work, the audio options, video quality and bitrate settings, and what you can do with the clip afterwards.
Quick answer: TempoAI Camera records video with the watermark baked into the frames — the same elements you use for photos, including the live map tile, compass heading and weather. On top of that you get a filter strip with Beauty, Filter and LUT tabs (12 creative presets and 12 situational LUTs, each with an intensity slider), beauty effects, doodle overlays drawn onto the frames while recording, background music with loop and trim, microphone mute, a bitrate choice, and a trim-and-export tool in the gallery. Everything is processed on the device.
What the Video Watermark Can Contain
Video uses the same watermark template as photos, so whatever you have arranged for a still image is what gets recorded. A field-ready template might include:
- Date, time and weekday — the baseline proof of when.
- Reverse-geocoded address and GPS coordinates (decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or DMS) — the proof of where.
- Altitude and compass direction — including the heading text such as “Facing North-East 42°”.
- Live map tile — a map thumbnail centred on the recording position (2D street map, satellite or terrain).
- Weather, temperature and air quality — useful for outdoor reports and travel logs.
- Project name, notes, custom text, your logo or signature — so the clip identifies itself without a caption.
Because the stamp is composited into the video frames rather than added as a subtitle track, it survives every messenger, editor and player the clip passes through.
Filters, LUTs and Beauty — Live While You Record
The filter strip above the shutter has three tabs, and all of them apply to video as well as photos:
| Tab | What is inside | How it helps on video |
|---|---|---|
| Beauty | Skin refining, glow, contour, natural makeup, V-shape, teeth, slim face and more | Keeps faces looking consistent across a long take without a separate retouch step |
| Filter | 12 creative colour presets — Fresh, Warm Film, Cool, B&W, Cinematic, Vibrant, Fade, Vintage, Golden, Minty, Sepia, Velvet | Sets the mood of the footage; Cinematic and B&W work especially well for documentation-style clips |
| LUT | 12 situational looks — Landscape, Portrait, Food, Pet, Plant, Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, Snow, Sunset, Night, Morning | Matches the grade to the scene and the weather instead of guessing at sliders |
Each preset has its own intensity slider, so a look can be dialled from a hint of warmth to a full cinematic grade. The intensity you set is what gets recorded — there is no separate “apply filter on export” step, and no re-encode afterwards.
Doodle overlays on video too
The doodle layer also works during recording: circles, arrows, text and stamps you draw are drawn onto the video frames, so an explanation can point at something in real time. See the doodle camera guide for the full tool set.
Audio: Microphone, Music and Mute
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Recorded by default; a mute control turns it off for silent footage you will narrate later |
| Background music — built-in sound | Pick a system ringtone, notification or alarm sound |
| Background music — local file | Choose a track from your own storage |
| Start / end points | Use only the segment of the track you want |
| Loop playback | Keeps the music going for takes longer than the track |
| Mix music into video | The music is written into the video file instead of being played out loud; the microphone is still recorded unless you mute it |
| Match video length to music | Recording stops automatically when the music segment finishes, so the clip length follows the track |
Video Quality, Bitrate and Stabilization
Quality is set by two independent controls, which is convenient when you need long recordings rather than maximum detail:
- Quality profile — a balanced / high-quality / power-save choice that decides the processing budget.
- Bitrate tier — high, medium or low, with high as the default. Lower tiers produce smaller files for long walkthroughs or field clips.
- Stabilization — switchable, and only enabled when the device reports support for it, so it never breaks a recording on phones that cannot do it.
The gallery shows the recorded bitrate in the details view, which makes it easy to see what each setting produced.
After the Take: Check, Trim, Export
- Review in the gallery — list or grid view, favourites, filters by date, type or folder, and a details panel with the file information, bitrate and the EXIF-style lines.
- Trim the clip — open the video and use the trim tool: drag the range to choose the segment you want to keep.
- Export the trimmed version — the new clip is written to Movies/TempoAICamera (handled by Android’s Media3 Transformer) and saved to your gallery.
- Share or archive — the watermarked, filtered clip is a normal video file, so it can be sent, uploaded or dropped into a report.
A Video Recording Workflow That Works
- Set up the watermark first. Load the template for the job — a site template with coordinates and project name, or a travel template with the map tile, compass and weather.
- Choose the look. Open the LUT tab and match the scene (Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, Sunset, Night) or pick a creative preset such as Cinematic, then set the intensity so it grades without looking artificial.
- Sort the audio. Decide between natural sound, a muted track to narrate later, or background music mixed into the file.
- Check the stamp placement. In video, the watermark stays where you put it — keep it out of the way of faces and moving subjects.
- Record. Tap the shutter and let the overlay, LUT, beauty and any doodle draw onto the frames as they are captured.
- Trim and export in the gallery, then share the clip.
Video Watermark vs. Editing It In Later
| Need | Camera + a desktop video editor | TempoAI Camera |
|---|---|---|
| Time and place on the footage | Added by hand, per clip, after the fact | Stamped at capture with the real GPS data |
| Map, compass and weather | Rarely available at all | Burned into the frames from live data |
| Colour grading | Manual curves and LUT import | 12 creative presets and 12 situational LUTs with intensity |
| Time to finish | Import, grade, export, re-upload | Record, trim, share |
| Privacy | Often a cloud editor | Processing stays on the device |
Who Records Video With a Watermark
- Site and maintenance teams — a walkthrough clip that carries the coordinates, address and timestamp in every frame.
- Delivery and fleet drivers — proof-of-delivery video with the address and time visible on screen.
- Real-estate agents — tours with the branded watermark and listing address, graded with a warm or bright LUT.
- Travelers and vloggers — location, compass and weather overlays plus a cinematic grade, ready to post.
- Teachers and trainers — screen or equipment demonstrations annotated with live doodles.
- Insurance and claims — damage footage where the place and time are recorded in the file itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a watermark to video, or only to photos?
Both. The watermark template is composited into the video frames while you record, so the clip keeps its timestamp, address, coordinates, map tile, compass heading, weather and logo wherever it is played.
Do the filters and LUTs apply to video?
Yes. The filter strip has Beauty, Filter and LUT tabs, all of which work on video as well as photos, and each preset has an intensity slider so you can grade the footage live.
How many LUTs are there?
Twelve situational LUT looks — Landscape, Portrait, Food, Pet, Plant, Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, Snow, Sunset, Night and Morning — plus twelve creative colour presets such as Cinematic, Vibrant, Vintage and B&W.
Can I record video with music and no microphone sound?
Yes. Turn on “mix music into video” and mute the microphone: the music is written into the file and no ambient audio is recorded. You can also loop the track, set start and end points, or have the recording stop when the music segment ends.
Does the video watermark work offline?
Yes. Recording, the watermark, LUT grading, beauty and doodle overlays all run on the device. Live weather, air quality and freshly fetched map tiles need a connection; cached map tiles keep working without one.
Can I trim the video after recording?
Yes. The gallery has a trim tool — drag the range to keep the segment you want and export it; the new clip is saved to your gallery (under Movies/TempoAICamera).
Can I change the video quality?
Yes. Video quality combines a processing profile (balanced, high quality or power save) with a bitrate tier (high, medium or low, high by default), and stabilization can be switched on when the device supports it.
Is the video watermark feature free?
The camera, watermark system, filter and LUT strip, video recording and the trim tool are part of the free app. Some optional capabilities — such as AI cutout, the doodle tool and saving custom watermark templates — belong to the VIP features, which can be unlocked by subscription or temporarily with a rewarded ad.
Record the Moment With Its Facts Attached
