???? why in the hell would you do that?? why not load the vidoe into the editor, drag a transparent image onto it and stretch the image the length of the video??

wow fuck going frame by frame to watermark a video, that's fucking crazy

The way an NLE like Premiere Pro works when you export a finished movie (normally as a DV AVI file) is the image needs to be rendered frame by frame if it is going to sustain on screen the entire length of the video. So that lengthens the rendering time significantly. With minimal effects, a (say, 40 minute long) video on a fast pc might render in about half it's running time (say 22 minutes or so) in Premiere Pro; adding lots of effects or a watermark it will likely make the rendering process take real time or more.

What I do is create a small version of the watermark as a .png file and add it in the .wmv and .mpeg encoding process in Cleaner XL, which I usually run overnight because it takes several hours anyway to encode to multiple bit rates. This also has the effect or keeping the watermark pristine because it doesn't have to get shrunken in size and quality from the finished movie.

I started with Cleaner XL so I don't know about the earlier versions but it's part of the Filter Settings drop down selections in Cleaner XL. I have my designer make the .png as white text with a black drop shadow in Photoshop with transparency at the correct size to fit in the bottom right corner of a 320 x 240 window, then I select that file as the source, and define it's position and some other attribtes in Cleaner. The watermark will get added whiel you encode to mpeg and/or wmv.

All you have to have to get a substantial student discount from some online sellers on e-bay is to have (or make up) a college class registration paper and you'll save hundreds of dollars.
