I want to put watermarks in my video (in Specific time). I researched some sources, and it said I need to (video filter) reencode the whole video to put a watermark, but I don't have a high-end PC to do this. If I reencode the whole video, it takes about 6 to 7 hours.
However, I have come up with some good ideas to do this. I created three segments, the first segment (19 mins) is the original video, the second segment (21 seconds) is where the watermark needs to be, and the third segment (15 mins) is also the original video. So, I put the watermark in the second segment and then concat them with ffmpeg (Note: I didn't re-encode all segments. I re-encoded only the second segment and merged them wit without re-encoded videos).
However,when going through segment 2, it encounters playback issues such as being stuck. However, I played the segments individually before concatting them, and they played smoothly. When concatenated, the playback issues occurred. FFmpeg details for the three segments are provided below
```

**UPDATE 1 - Used FFMPEG Commands**
```
These commands are from a shell script function.
Split command
ffmpeg -hide_banner -ss ${start_get_seconds} -i ${inputFile} -t ${to_secs} -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -map '0:0' '-c:0' copy -map '0:1' '-c:1' copy -map_metadata 0 -movflags '+faststart' -default_mode infer_no_subs -ignore_unknown -f mp4 -y ${TMPDIR}/${tmppartname}
Applying watermark command
ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "${TMPDIR}/${tmppartname}" -vf "drawtext='fontfile=DejaVu Sans\:style=Semibold:text=test:fontcolor=white:fontsize=30:y=h-50*t:x=w-(t-4.5)*(w+tw)/15'" -vcodec "${codecs[$getcodec]}" -crf 15 -c:a copy "${TMPDIR}/watermark_${tmppartname}"
Concat files command
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i "${filelist}" -c copy "${outputFile}"
```
