The easiest way I can think of, if a watermark during play is what you want, is to superinpose a semitransparent image to your video player.

create a UIImageView
make sure the UIImageView has the same size and layout constraints of your video
make sure that the UIImageView is semitransparent (not opaque and with an appropriate alpha, if required)
[MPMoviePlayerViewController addSubview:]

and you should be about done.

Hope it helps

EDIT and there is the correct way to do it:
