Batch video watermarking help...
 

I'm looking for a good program that can batch process wmv files for adding a watermark and even an image to the beginning and end. Someone here has to know a good one. Thanks for your help in advance. :pimp

Videocharge

Yep, I use videocharge too!

i've been playing with the videocharge demo its almost exactly what i'm looking for. Is there a way to add an image to the begining and end of the clips. the watermark is perfect and flexible but I really wanna get a logo or splash screen to the begining and end along with the watermark. :thumbsup

thanks to you guys i need it too

videocharge is the program you want :)

I think you can add images to the start and end.. but if believe you would have to run it as a seperate process to the watermarking... I may be wrong... Why not contact the people who make videocharge?, they normally respond quite quickly.

If you use Final Cut Pro, then create a PICT (.pct) file in Photoshop with an Alpha Channel, and you can create your logo in either black or white (or even possibly some other color, with a logo, etc).

Once you have finished editing your video, with your titles and credits (which you don't want your watermark to cover), you set the length of the .pct file which you have imported into Final Cut Pro to match the amount of time that your video runs for (minus the time for the title and credits segments).

You than drag the .pct into the Canvas window and superimpose it on the section that you want the watermark to appear on (set the "in" point to where the video you want the watermark to appear on starts).

You can then export the video to Quicktime (self-contained movie), and then import it into a program like Cleaner, where you can batch process it in any number of ways (I do my videos in .wmv, .mov, and .mpg).

Use the Help section of the various programs if you get stuck or need more detailed info.

do they make something like videocharge for the macintosh?

the cheaper version of vegas both watermarks and will allow you to add images but as far as i know, it won't batch.

sorenson batches, allows you to add graphical watermarks, but as far as i know it won't add a pic at the beginning of the video.

Adobe premiere 2.0 will do all that hehe, but not in batch mode. :winkwink:

thanks guys...video charge ended up being the best choice for price and productivity

is there any way slice wmv's into 1 minute clips without having the program re-encode it?

"video splitter" or something, check google. :)

wmv video splitter i believe its called :)

yea i use the avi asf mpg wmv splitter as well. but i was curious to see if videocharge can do that hehe

:thumbsup :thumbsup

video charge is the greatest so far
