The easiest way to implement movie-based serives on website running on Linux-based platform is FFmpeg with it's command-line interface. One of the most commonly demanded features for such services is movies watermarking with website's logo image. The problem is, that lastly FFmpeg introduced new filters mechanism and removed old APIs like vhook which was used for that purpose.

So here is the solution.
