Watermarking Videos Help
 

I am trying to figure out how to watermark a video. It is easy when encoding them down to smaller sizes like 320x240 but I want to watermark (preferrably with an image) bigger videos.

My videos are 720x480 membersarea mpegs and they need to be watermarked. I'd prefer a program that will watermark them as I encode them from the avi to mpeg-1.

Anyone have any advice?

I got some info on Sony Video Vegas but is there anything else that anyone knows about?

I use Sorenson and it only allows it for .mov, not for .mpegs.

This is what I use but it is Mac only so no help to you unless you want to upgrade to a Mac.

Thanks Cleo but I'll stay away from Mac for now. :)

I used several diffrent video editing programs and chose Video Charge (videocharge.com). You may resize or crop your videos to any size you want and make a watermark on them very easily.

give a go with www.wiagra.com Wiagra Video Effector - its a handy small program

Thanks. I've been playing with that now but it is always stretching my output video for some reason. I do not have stretch checked in the editing part so I'm not sure why it is doing it. I'll keep playing with it.

Downloading now, I'll try it out. Thanks!

I purchased it and its alot better then the videocharge one i use it for watermarking clips for uploads to newsgroups

I couldn't get wiagra to work for some reason. It would even run on my PC. Corrupt download file I think.

But I did download Ulead VideoStudio 9, very good with a text watermark and there are overlays too that I haven't worked on yet. But it allows you to add a text to the raw avi without rendering the file and changing the sizes.

thats strange i run win2k pro worked fine,but as long as ya got something that works for ya thats all that counts haha.I know when i bought it i forgot to get rid of the .asp on it haha

I've been using Vegas Video for years.....wish I knew more about it to help you. I just know the very basics.
