      Thanks for your help !


      Well, I gotta to head out soon, so I'll give this one a quick reply.



      there are MANY ways of doing this and MANY programs that can do it for you.


      BUT, I will give you a hint, if your vids are ALREADY in WMV format, you will need to uncompress them to raw AVIs. SO that way, when you re-encode them, you won't loose much quality as compared to recompressing another WMV.


      For simple watermarking, I'd recommend http://www.videocharge.com

      whats great about the program is that, not only can you watermark, but its also an idiot proof program for cutting up your vids, making thumbnails, converting your vids, etc.


      If you have any other questions, I'll be back in a few hours!

        recommended hardware setups for rendering HD video?

        is is true that RAM is not much of a factor in rendering speed, but CPU power is??

          When it comes to rendering, the formula is VERY simple... the more RAM and CPU power you have, the better!


          And as for RAM, it depends on what you're rendering... if its simple video, ya... RAM doesn't affect it MUCH, but if its graphical work, then yes, RAM matters alot.



          But, its pretty simple, when you're rendering, get the most RAM and CPU power you can use. And read up on your programs capabilities, some will allow Dual core processing, some won't.

          Some have a RAM usage limit,etc.

I've heard that Sony uses a wet lubricant for their tapes (vs. dry for JVC) and that heads can get messed up if you switch. Any truth to that?

              I could help ya on this one ... it really makes no difference to your camera what Tape you use ... Tape stock is a personal choice ... As a DOP in Broadcast I have (thru the years) formulated a Choice of tape based on Construction and Material use by Various companies.

              In My humble opinion Fuji Film is the bast tape stock when it comes to analog and digital tape (Sans Memory) .. fuji is know for very abrassive tape .. While sony is know for the Oppisite .. and Maxelle/quantum tends to flake ...

              Videotape be it analog or Digital is made of Silver composites .. When the tape travels thru the tape transport it lies on a slight angle against the Head drums .. On these drums there will be 4 to 5 Play heads ... Microscopic needles scrap the video tape when reading or recording .. Hense the reason for the Abrasiveness of the videotape .. the abrasivness will determine the amount tape/silver particals that will be moving around in the transport or remaining on the tape.

              My MINIDV videotape ratings

              1. Fuji
              2. Panasonic (great tape if you use a EDL)
              3. Maxelle
              4.JVC
              5. BASF
              6. Sony

                  Anything over a 1000 kbps is overkill for your bandwidth. The quality will look great, but the improvement in image quality over a 1000 kpbs is barely noticeable.

                        Honestly, if you're going to do something like that, I would learn the Basics of After Effects, otherwise it will be a pain in the ass to do in Premiere... as for After Effects, it will only take you about 5 minutes



                        Simple guide line to doing it in After Effects:

                        Step 1 - Add an adjustment layer on top of the video

                        Step 2 - With the adjustment layer, cut out a mask over the face and make sure to feather it out.

                        Step 3 - Blur the adjument layer

                        Step 4 - Animate the mask shape properties over the timeline to have the blur follow the face

                        Step 5 - Render it out! Easy as pie!
