Naughty... what is your source file you are using in cleaner? i have never added a watermark in cleaner, and i dont see the options for it (i have cleaner 5 windows). I personally add my logo to my vids in premiere. i create a psd file the same size as the frame size of the input video, make sure you only import the layer with the logo, and then add it as another track, and render it out.

if you dont have premiere i guess this is a useless answer, but i thought id share it anyways...

tell me what you know about adding the wm in cleaner and ill check it out to see if i cant figger it out.

Naughty

In cleaner, go to settings > image: at the bottom you see the option 'set watermark', click it and get your file. It must be a PICT file with Alpha channels. I did it exactly as the pdf manual says, with no luck :/

Problem is: I have Premiere as well, but what is the point of Cleaner (which main plus is the batch feature) when you have to render each movie in Premiere first anyway.

I do it is Vegas Video now, but then I have to do each mpg movie at a time, as I would like to batch at least 5 at the same time.

If you are going to give it a shot, make sure to read the manual first, you can download it for free on the website for Cleaner.

Ok, i just successfully added a watermark in cleaner. If im understanding you correctly i think i know what the problem is. I think you are under the wrong profile when you are doing the settings.

Under "Advanced Settings" there is Audio, AVI, DV, etc... are you on "Images" ???

If so, this is not for output of a movie file, it is for exporting a screen grab.

Anyhow, i just loaded one of my avi files into cleaner, set the destination, selected MPEG>MPEG-1 Video CD PAL (i prefer pal, your source might be ntsc) .. anyhow, this is moot. ANY of the video settings (MPEG, AVI, QT, and their subcategories: MPEG-1 VCD, MPEG-1 Web, and so on... ) should have the menu off to the right:

output
tracks
image
adjust
encode
audio
begin/end
metadata
summary

Under image, the last option bottom right is watermark. I checked the box, hit set, browsed for the image, and badda bing.

For the image, i made a .psd file the exact same dimensions as the video source file, and i put the watermark on that transparent image exactly where i wanted it to be on the video (bottom right for me).

i hope this helps, i didnt read the manual, i just tried this and it worked perfectly. Lemme know if this works or not, or if i can help any more

Naughty

Actually, I did exactly what you did, except fololow the manual as far as the pict file is concerned. I will try to use a psd file tomorrow and see if that works.

To be continued ...

MikeySpermberg

dont ever read the manual

Naughty

Okay, I gave it a quick try. My version crashes when I use a psd format file.

What did you do with the psd file before importing into cleaner?

Naughty

Do you see a small image on the right side of the filename after you selected it?
I do not when selecting a psd file :/

MikeySpermberg

hmm. in photoshop i did file > new ... set it exactly to the same dimensions as the source im working on (720x576 in my case), res 300, RGB, transparent ... i also opened the logo i have and resized it to the proportion i wanted, copied it and pasted it into the 720x576 psd file, as one layer. moved it into the bottom right corner with a few pixels padding, saved it as a psd, thats it. it worked.
