[Crockett]

[SamLewis]

How are you currently watermarking?

 

[opahopa]

I'm interested in this question too. Currently I'm using Lightroom for that job. Is there are any faster software?
p.s. wrong section irashoot

If you want automated means, try getting your hands on VideoCharge Studio.

Other than that there is Mass Video Blaster or other software if you'd prefer to go through the BST marketplace section.

This is an interesting question. It would be lovely if there was a software with which you can put watermarks that are ready from templates

If you really want to improve this I think you should ask this question on a forum dedicated to video editing, video encoding and re-encoding is a complex subject.

 

[uncutu]

depends what software you're using now and what you consider decent hardware
for videos i use aoao video watermark pro
for images faststone photo resizer
both tools let you queue files up and run fairly quick depending on the file sizes you're working with
if still slow get faster ssd/cpu/ram

depends on your CPU, I make watermarks in Sony Vegas Pro, takes like 1-2 mins and u can save it to use next time on video, but u also need to render the vid after that, that's where good cpu comes in, and quality of the vids also depends, 1080p takes a lot to render

Why do you watermark videos?

The best way I find to watermark videos is using ffmpeg.
It is free, fast, very good quality of the re-encoded video, only a bit bigger in size, it can be scripted since it is run from cmd line and it is very customizable.
So, download ffmpeg for Windows x64 from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-20160225-git-ad17b9d-win64-static.7z
Extract the archive. The file you want is the "ffmpeg.exe" file inside "bin" folder.
After that you can create the watermark file in photoshop and save it with transparent background as "watermark.png".
And you only have to run ffmpeg with the right settings.
After a lot of tests I found these settings to work very well to watermark a flv video named video.flv:

ffmpeg.exe -i video.flv -qscale:v 4 -ar 11025 -loglevel error -vf "movie=watermark.png [watermark]; [in][watermark] overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:30 [out]" -vcodec msmpeg4 -acodec wmav2 output.wmv

Good luck!

why do you change the file format from flv to wmv? that's why it gets bigger
wmv is such an obsolete format nowadays, just keep the flv format or if you want to change it by any means, change it to mp4

There is actually a reason for this. According to xvideos faq they state that:

Try to avoid exotic codecs or very recent ones. Go with standards like WMV. A high bitrate is always better. Contrary to common beliefs flv format is absolutely not ideal for us and is not recommended.

You can use Mass Video Blaster or watermark pro. watermarking time will be depend on your PC model. Please try to use high figuration PC. Then it'll take less time and you'll able to run these soft. easily.
OP! Why you wanted to do it ?
