Add Overlay Graphics using Quicktime Pro

In this video, I discuss how to create overlay a graphic logo on your videos. A lot of you use Youtube, blip.tv, viddler, vimeo, metacafe and the like to house your videos. Often times you see professional looking videos with logos overlayed. This trick that I talk about utilizes Quicktime Pro to do the same effect. All that is required is a transparent PNG logo of your choice, and a copy of Quicktime Pro ($30). There are other software tools out there which can probably do this trick and more, but I found that this solution is fairly cheap and flexible for what I need. I hope you can get some use out of it as well.

Thanks for the information. I'll try it and see what happens.

@singinglawr YES, if you EXPORT the file, after adding the logo. it all becomes one single file in the render.

merely "save as" won't do it.

I like your video. It helped me when I was adding black bars to the sides of my videos to block certain things out. I have one problem though. When I uploaded the video to YouTube, it removed the black bars and showed the original format. I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

I liked your overlay video and I have some questions that I hope you can answer. Have you tried it on YOUTUBE yet to see if the logo would be accepted or do you have to go through YOUTUBE Gooogle annotations? Do you have any examples of Logo videos that you did this with? Do you know the names of any software that can do this? Thanks...Great Job.
