Does VV Have an Option that will let you add a Watermark Image anywhere on your video? I know Camtasia does. But it is SO LIMITEd End wise with what you can do gfx wise. And VV has always been missing a Watermark Image option. I loved how you could use the COLORED Image or Transparent. Made it feel like it was more Professional

Of course you can.

Create your watermark as a still image file, preferably with a transparent background if it's not rectangular. Load this file into the top track of the timeline and use Track Motion to size and position it. You can also reduce the compositing level to make it semi-transparent if you wish. Nifty.

If you reeeeallly wanna get FLASHY, have it flash ON/OFF/ON/OFF. Suppose you could also do GIFS and stuff - yeah?

Grazie

Grazie, yep! For that matter, a watermark is really just a subclass of Picture-In-Picture. You could have an hour long mini-video watermarked over the corner of an hour long full frame video.

haha I love WATERMARKS. I like how CNN and FOX and all them have it Flash now and then during a show. Not to annoying and some of them on TNN and TNT during the NASCAR race kick ass. Hopefully I can find allot of HOW TOs for watermarks around the net for VV then I can experiment. Woo hoo

Ekim, go ahead and experiment now! Nothing beats the thrill of figuring out this stuff on your own. :)

I think I accidently made his head Tiny :( And I found out a COOL Filter for making the movie look wester style lol. Threw me off of what I was actually there to work on LOL. Gotta love Sonic Foundry.
