video watermarking

Post by angelanthony »

hello im new to ffastrans so ive tested a few things and im looking to find if this option exists

i set up a watch folder to batch video watermark my content with a png logo
the test has gone through successful however im trying to figure out the following
- the video files that i drop into the watch folder are different in sizes
for example i have videos in the following sizes 540x1110 , a 1280x668, 640x360, and 688x1280

im looking for a solution to be able to set in the watermark processor to be able to have the
logo auto size to each of the following sizes listed above and to be able to have logo auto placed in the
right bottom hand corner in the safe video zone for each different video size.

im new to variables so im assuming i will have to insert them . but i just dont know how to code the values in the filters watermark pop up window

any advice is greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hi angelanthony, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum! :-)

If you don't know how to use variables I suggest you start easy:

Make sure you logo is png, without extra borders. That is, the logo image size should not be much greater than the logo itself. So lets say your logo size is 150x50 pixels. In the "Watermark"-filter add "%i_width%-300" to the X offest and "%i_height%-100" to the Y-offset. Uncheck "Resize to fit source".
Now try a couple of different media files with different sizes and see what happens. The logo should be in the right bottom no matter what your input media is. Now, maybe this is enough to get you going...? ;-)
