How to Watermark a Movie

[kwiminalkitty]

You don't need the program to take a picture. Not on mac. On mac you do "Command - Shift - 4" at the same time to take a picture.

Thanks! It really helped me a lot!

Great tip. However I notice there's a gamma level increase in the video upon entering the time-line where the watermark is set to appear (Straight Alpha applied) with the newly exported watermarked video (Both Quicktime/MP4).

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT.

I saw other video from yours and it had cool light up below the activating app. Can you tell me how to do it?

[chkdg8]

This is a pretty cool tutorial but wouldn't it be much simpler to just add a title in iMovie or FCP and then turn down the opacity so it resembles a watermark?

[WGChampions]

Thanks you really helped me out lot

[technogeak]

let me guess you use snapz pro x?

(like me)

[MacTipper]

Yep.

[douggard]

adding this reduced the video quality greatly, other than that it worked awesomely

any tips for the quality downgrade?

Thanks

[MacTipper]

What did you save the video file as?

[douggard]

.mov

the quality drop happens even before i save it though

if i run it along side the original the change in video quality and audio sync is noticeable...

i just had an idea though, i was using a very large image and scaling it down, ill try scaling it down prior to import

thanks for the response

[MacTipper]

It could also be that it is rendering on the fly. So, if you save/export it, the video quality might become normal again.

[douggard]

yea, i just downsized the image and re-imported to the video, it works great now

also there is a noticeable difference when i use straight alpha and straight alpha blend

thanks for the great tutorial!

[TheCoolPeopleDude]

[cjdanilecki]

what song is that did you make it in garageband could yo send it to me i love it thanks for reading

[MacTipper]

No I, unfortunately, did not make it. I'm not that talented. I got it from:

derekaudette (dot) ottawaarts (dot) com/index2 (dot) php

You'll need to click on "Music" at the top of the page and then scroll down to "Just got feet don't got shoes!"

Direct link to music file:

derekaudette (dot) ottawaarts (dot) com/music/Just_Got_Feet_Dont_G­ot_Shoes_125BPM_lowqual (dot) mp3

(Replace every " (dot) " with .)

[cjdanilecki]

[MacTipper]

Yeah, no problem. It's great music.

[cjdanilecki]

Thanks man this helped do you have a video on how to do it in final cut express

[MacTipper]

No, I don't, but it's pretty easy. I'll see if I can make a vid about that.
