It doesn't matter if the video uploaded is a clip of the original, a compressed version, a watermarked version or anything. Simply put, ff the video uploaded is a match, it is a match.

Nothing at all - this is an opt-in option, that's all.

It takes ~15 seconds to watermark a 2hour video, then about 10milliseconds to check that against over 2 million videos, so I'd say it won't slow down the process to any significant length.
