Adding/removing a time watermark

For videos only: Open the Insta360 app and navigate to the Album page > play a video you want to watermark > tap "Settings" icon in the top left corner > toggle on "Time watermark".

Notes

• The time display format is fixed and cannot be changed.
• Please make sure to set this before entering the Editor page. Once you enter the Editor/Edit page, you will no longer be able to add or remove the time watermark.
• When shooting in the Dashcam mode, if you enable the shooting time watermark on the camera, the exported video will automatically include a time watermark. In this mode, the Insta360 app does not support the time watermark feature, and you cannot add time watermarks when processing the media during post-production.
• The Insta360 app supports adding time watermarks and camera watermarks to live photos. If both "Time watermark" and "Video watermark" are enabled, only the time watermark will appear on the exported live photo.

For a more intuitive operational demonstration, please refer to Tutorial for Adding Time Watermark.

FAQ

1. Which shooting modes support enabling the time watermark for videos?

Video, FreeFrame Video, Loop Recording, Me Mode, PureVideo, and HDR Video.

2. Can watermarks be added on different export pages?

Exporting from the Player/Album page

• Individual exporting: Turn on the watermark switch on the export panel before exporting the media. You can add a watermark without editing the media. The watermark setting will remember its on/off state once turned on. If you want to turn it off, you need to manually toggle the watermark switch off.
• Batch exporting
  • Media with post-production stabilization: The media is exported with watermarks without any editing.
  • In-camera stabilized media: The media is exported without watermarks by default if no editing is performed. To add a camera watermark, you need to perform any editing operations other than trimming, such as applying a filter or adjusting the color, before exporting.

Exporting from the Editor page

As long as the watermark switch is toggled on, exporting media will add a watermark without any editing.

3. Can I download files/images with Insta360 watermarks in .png format separately?

Currently, downloading files/images with Insta360 watermarks in .png format is not supported.

4. Why can I only export the brand watermark / Insta360 watermark?

If you are editing and exporting multiple clips on an advanced editing page (such as the "Create a Video", "Auto Edit", or "FlashCut" pages), only the brand watermark will be exported. This is normal, as the logic for adding watermarks on these pages is designed this way.
