Watermarking videos

Post by jackjack »

I was wondering if it is possible to watermark videos once the video is moved to a certain /dir. I know this is possible for images, but what about videos?

I thre a script out there I can download or a command that does this?

I don't think theirs a script out there for all video types at least, maybe a few types.. In the end, you'll need to find a script/tool that can demux the frames out, add your watermark, and remux them back in.. a lengthy process.

Ahh ic.

What about a script that takes a frame out of the video and turns it into a picture?

You'll need to find a script that will capture a static image at a specified time, save it, then either watermark it directly on the picture, and save the watermarked copy, or develop a watermark script that does it dynamically.

Or you could just use a video editor (ie Adobe Premier) to manually add your watermark. It is probably faster and is not difficult at all.
