To specify a video overlay using the API, SDK, or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), include `VideoOverlays` in your job settings JSON.

The following is an excerpt of a job settings JSON that specifies a full screen video overlay at timecode `00:10:00:00` for one minute from a clipped input:

```
{
  "Settings": {
    "Inputs": [
      {
        "VideoOverlays": [
          {
            "Input": {
              "FileInput": "s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/overlay.mp4",
              "InputClippings": [
                {
                  "StartTimecode": "00:10:00:00",
                  "EndTimecode": "00:11:00:00"
                }
              ],
              "TimecodeSource": "EMBEDDED"
            },
            "StartTimecode": "00:01:00:00",
            "EndTimecode": "00:02:00:00"
