What a nice tutorial mate…

but i stuck on adding the logo on movie maker. it wont appear at all. after reading your tutorial more detail, i found that there is slight mistake on this xml . make sure that it pointed to a same name as your logo image.

and now i know the easy way how to add watermark logo on my video..

thanks again…

i mean this xml:

Param name=”LogoBitmapFilename” value=”AddOnTFX\mylogo.gif”

Yup your absolutely right Richie. You just have to replace “mylogo.gif” with the name of your file. Can I see your finished video?

geri, my logo is stretch after i put it on my video. what is the correct size to make it proportional? or can i change the size?

i also thinking about doing fade in and fade out on my watermark at certain time. did you know to make my logo faded?

after i finished editing and uploading my video i will let you see… but its only a concert video of some of my favorite band…

cheers,
richie

A size of 125px x 100px logo is just right.

LogoRect” value=”x y width height – width & height represents the ratio of your logo on the screen. Make it smaller. like 0.1 0.1 or 0.2 0.2

I got mine to work for a while, but now the logo stretches off screen. Most of the logo shows, but part does not. I have it positioned in the bottom right. How do I fix this?

Never mind I figured mine out. Just had to fiddle around with it!

THANK YOU – for making it easy. The location is what had been baffling me the most, I could live with my URL in text but WMM wouldn’t let me put it in the lower left corner like I wanted.

@ Sue – here is the procedure

Bonus: Logo Position

By editing

Original code is

Just replace the “x” and “y” value only.

0.0 0.0 – upper left corner
0.0 0.8 – lower left corner
0.8 0.8 – lower right corner
0.8 0.0 – upper right corner
0.4 0.4 – middle or center

QUESTIONS IN HERE:

This worked great! After doing it and wanting to USE a rectangular logo on one of my clips I wish I had come back to the site and looked at My Trans response! NOW I know.

Another big question though is – what size, approximately, in pixels or inches should the mylogo.gif be? At first, my logo was too small to read and I kept making it bigger. Eventually I have it like 10″ wide and coincidentally (or not?) my WMM started lagging hard when I put it in almost continuously. I couldn’t get a hold of the darn thing to stretch it, and I was zoomed wayyy in on the timeline. So I settled for copy and pasting it over and over. Would that slow WMM down do you think?

Main question here is what size in pixels and inches should the graphic mylogo.gif be? Assuming my finished projects will be 640×480 if that matters.

Also – on a broader topic. If my camera films at 320×240(and I’m not sure of that but it says that under image size) does it do me any good to save the file for editing in a bigger capture size? AND – I save my clips in a certain format to post them on cilps4sale and on my websites but once I have a bunch of clips done I want to put them all together into a full length DVD movie that will wind up in the video stores. Since I’m unsure which format to save them in to easily drop them into the new full length DVD project later, I’m saving them in NTSF, and NTSF AVI and one other God-awful huge file. Could someone tell me which one I SHOULD be saving them in for later use in a quality DVD?

Thanks to whoever answers and don’t think I won’t IM you My Trans!!! Finding the sweet lady who shared this info and this page has been a God send!

@ Sue – I am using a 125x 145 gif as my logo. I still save my clips on WMV format or extension. That way I can attach it to another clip/s if I need to. You have to use another software for making it on DVD format. One software I would recommend is the Pro Show.

Thank you raredog. I wouldn’t have thought I’d have to use another format for DVD’s! So much to learn. Thanks for helping me out with the size and that tip.

No problem Sue, its my pleasure to be of help. By the way I’ve just dropby at your site and its absolutely astonishing and kinky.

geri a.k.a. raredog’s last blog post..Blogging Tool

I have tried this repeatedly but can not get the @My Logo option at all, I have seen others on various forums that all have the same problem?
I have tried the: C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\ …etc with no luck however I do already have, in the program files, a AddOnTfx folder: Movie Maker\MUI409\AddOnTfx this only has a moviemk help file in it.
Could this be the problem?

I think that is the problem. You need to copy the script onto a notepad and then put the notepad into that AddOnTfx folder. Without both that script and the mylogo.gif file in that folder nothing will happen. I hope I understood your question correctly and didn’t give you a silly answer. I had to ask questions to get mine to work right but it was really simple and worked like a charm if you follow the directions exactly.

Good luck Insider

PS. Thanks Geri – I didn’t really realize my site would be linked, I wonder if that is a bad thing? I guess someone will remove it for me if it is.

@insider – you should have created the AddOnTfx folder inside the Shared folder and not inside MUI409. Then place (inside the AddOnTfx folder)there the mylogo.xml and logo.gif files.

Nice response Sue! By the way about the link. Its called a backlink and its good for your site. I am searching for your photos. Could you send me one on my email.

XML – Copy/Paste Error

I kept trying and trying, but not able to see the @logo on the title list.

Here’s what I found…the quotes changed to smart quotes in the Notepad program and created “illegal” characters in the XML code. I replaced all of the quotation characters manually in Notepad and saved the file as instructed and it worked!

Maybe INSIDER needs to try to replace the quote marks and see if that works.

BTW – Wife doesn’t think it’s as cool as I do that my logo shows up on my video– Thanks for the code, this is AWESOME!

Yes I did have trouble with the code as well but after tinkering around and trying other things I did finally get there in the end….Heres the result:

Many thanks

@Matt – Congratulation

@Insider – I have seen your video. I say its a nice video, nice music, and nice watermark! Im glad you finally made it!

geri’s last blog post..Share your Thoughts

yo i need help i put everything in its right place….. but the @logo option won’t show on the viewer help!!!!

What OS are you using? This script is good for XP only. I suggest you review the whole process again, maybe you missed something.

geri’s last blog post..Share your Thoughts

To add watermarks to video I use VidLogo!!!!
It’s a very good soft for me! It’s very simple & effective tool!!!

been trying this for ages and i seem to have the same problem with it not appearing

martin:
Ive since bought a vista pc but Ive just gone into the program files of my old XP for you.
Try copying and pasting this code:

-
-
-

-

Obviously you will have to call your image “image.gif” or change the code to the name you have used but after I used this code I had success.

Best of luck….insider

that code didnt come up, how rubbish
if it’s easier you could email it to:
Martinxwf@aol.com

many thanks

code didnt copy martin.
contact me through YouTube:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fPc92GNXZlY and I will try to help…insider

success yay!, thank you Insider.

However, i cannot get this whole transparent image malarkey to work, which is rather weird as it’s pretty basic!.

i would like to use text as my watermark however it just wont work with the transparent background and i end up getting a white background.

Any ideas on applying a water mark using Vista?
At the moment I am having to run the finished video through MM on my XP pc- which results in a black bar on either side:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9ulKAz2SH5A

Also do you know of a chroma key programme that works reliably on Vista?
I tried WAX but couldn’t even get the preview to run.
I tried a free trial of ULEAD videostudio 11+ with very sporadic & reluctant results, and have been told that Sony VEGAS isn’t reliably Vista compatible….any thoughts?

Thank you bro for this tutorial. Bro I have a one question.How to add animation logo in my video? thank you

i have read all all the comments…and hope i understood them properly…my operating system is xp, so thats not a problem too…i just cant find the @mylogo…dear insider u have the same problem, now what did u do? as i can see many ppl have the same problem…so if u can explain whats going wrong with us, that will be a great help. thanks in advance

radioactive….I used a variation of the code but am unable to copy it to this forum….contact me through YouTube messages… http://uk.youtube.com/user/isleofwightinsider

I will try to help

radioactive – if you follow my instructions really well, you would see @My Logo here:

On your existing project:
1. click “Titles and Credits”
2. click “title on the selected clip”
3. then press space
4. click “Change the title animation”
5. From there, a drop-down menu that would appear

Titles, Two Lines

Fade, In and Out
Fly In, Fades
Fly Out
Moving Titles, Layered
Exploding Outline
Fly In, Left and Right
Sports Scoreboard
Newspaper
then finally

@My Logo

geri’s last blog post..Missed my Eclipse

Hi geri, thanks for your help, but as insider says “radioactive….I used a variation of the code but am unable to copy it to this forum…” do u think there could be smthng wrong in ur code? i’m sorry if i sounds like a dumb…let me give it one more try….

yes now i can see @My Logo, but nothing happens at the end, i mean it doesn’t appear on the viewer, viewer is just black, when i click “done”….it’s driving me crazy, i really tried hard, nothing happens…my logo doesn’t appear…is there anyone have any idea?

hi geri i have done it…the logo file name should be only mylogo, not mylogo.gif, cos its already a gif file, it was so simple and i’m such a dumb! thanks for ur help once again

@radioactive – congrats mate!

thats great idea, thanks mate, i tried but didn’t work, but when i saw the comments and make correction, it worked, thanks mate.Its simple but very helpful.

hurray, it worked, but needed great effort.Some changes has to be made on the code.And could u give me suggestion, if i can put gif file,i mean,changing banner,moving logo,like that one.If it is possible,it would be great.

I haven’t tried placing an animated gif. I don’t think its possible. A new code maybe.

VidLogo is good!

Hello Guys. I think I really need your help. I can’t make it work. I’m using Movie maker vista…
