You may need to add
identity and ownership information to your video, ensure
that viewers know the source. Digital Watermarking
allows you to embed text or
graphics, for example, a logo, in digital
media such as video or images. It is an excellent
way to stamp a
personalized identification mark such as your company name,
date of creation etc. on the visual material. |
|
| |
|
| |
The process of
Watermarking becomes very easy with
Video Edit Magic.
You can add Watermarks to your videos in an unobtrusive
yet effective way using Transitions and
Effects. You can create a
unique watermark to brand your creations. The following
steps tell you how to do it: |
|
| |
|
| |
1. Select the Video/Image to be used as a Watermark |
| |
You can use
any image as a watermark for your video. Just make sure the image
file format is supported by Video Edit Magic. The
Text/Title Effect is another option that lets you can
add a name as identification. In this article we shall
use the DeskShare logo as a watermark. |
| |
|
| |
2. Add the Video you want to Watermark |
| |
Open the video or image
you want to watermark in Video Edit Magic. Add it to
Video Track 1 in the
Timeline. Here we have added
the video: caves_explore.wmv |
|
| |
|
| |
3.
Add the Video / Image file to be used as a Watermark |
|
| |
Open the file
to be used for Watermarking and add it to the
Timeline. The file containing the DeskShare logo (logo.JPG)
is added to the Video 2. You can also use a video file
for a watermark instead of an image. Make sure that the
duration of this file as well as the effect and
transition added to the Timeline is same as that of the
video to be watermarked (if you want the watermark for the
entire duration of the video). You can do this by
stretching the file, effect and transition in the
Timeline. |
| |
|
| |
4.
Add Luminance Transition |
| |
Select the
Luminance
transition from the ones listed under Video
Transitions. Configure the Settings to adjust the
level of Luminance. Select the Keep Intensity
Constant option and set the intensity percentage in
the range of 60 to 80. Any values lower will make the
watermark seem opaque and resemble an image placed on
top of the video file. Any values higher will make
the watermark seem so transparent that it would hardly
be seen. |

5. Alter
Watermark Image Using Animated Transform Effect |
| |
If you wish
to use a smaller, less noticeable watermark in the
corner of your video, which is how most people watermark
their videos, you can use the
Animated
Transform Effect to resize and move the
watermark to the desired size and location. |
| |
|
| |
After you
have resized and moved the watermark image to the
desired location, select 'Set end position to be the
same as start position'. The 'Number of
rotations' is 2 by default but change it to 0.
As you can see in the image given below, we resized the
logo and moved it to the top right side of the display
window. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
Adjusting the settings for the Animated Transform Effect
and Luminance Transition will usually resolve problems
in the appearance of either the watermark or video file. Once you feel comfortable with watermarking using Video
Edit Magic, embedding watermarks in your videos
will take only moments. |
