The watermarking process

  • Before selecting a video/image to watermark just check whether it’s File Format is supported by Video Edit Magic or not. By the option of Text/Title Effect you can import a logo or a name that you want to add as your identification. In this article we’ll use DeskShare logo as a watermark.
  • To add a video or image click on the option Open the video or image and select a video e.g. Magic.wmv and add it to Video Track 1 in the Timeline.Select the file that contains the logo “DeskShare” and add it to video track 2.A video  can also be used as a watermark instead of an image.
  • Adjust the time limit of watermarking by stretching the file,effect and transition in the Timeline.If you want to watermark the full video, set the  transition of the logo exactly same as it is for the watermarking image in the Timeline.
  • Under Video transition select any transition to add it and adjust the luminance level by configuring the settings.Set intensity percentage in the range 60-80 by selecting Keep intensity Constant option.If you increase  the range then the watermark  will be transparent and and will become  invisible.
