A short, practical answer that fits the original request from and ties together the thread: several replies tried GUI tools and tutorials (for example from , , and ), but if those didn’t work a command-line, scriptable approach is often the fastest and most reliable—especially for batch work or exact placement. FFmpeg is tiny, cross-platform, and handles transparent PNG overlays without extra installs.

A minimal, working FFmpeg command to place a PNG in the bottom-right with a 10px margin:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i watermark.png -filter_complex "overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10" -c:a copy output.mp4

Notes: this keeps the original audio (-c:a copy) and re-encodes video (choose codec/quality as needed). If the logo is too big on high-resolution footage, scale it on the fly:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i watermark.png -filter_complex "[1:v]scale=iw*0.15:-1[wm];[0:v][wm]overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10" -c:a copy output.mp4

That example scales the watermark to about 15% of the logo’s original width relative to its own size; adjust 0.15 for desired size.

Troubleshooting and tips: test the command on a short clip first. If you need a specific visual quality, add -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset medium (or other encoder settings) and be aware some encoders/containers don’t preserve alpha channels if you actually need alpha in the output. For GUI alternatives (if CLI isn’t suitable), use a modern non-linear editor; for scripting and batch jobs, FFmpeg is the best choice. For details on expressions and available variables, see the FFmpeg overlay docs: FFmpeg overlay filter documentation.

This tutorial should more or less be what you're looking for!
http://forum.videohelp.com/topic248307.html

The tutorial shows you how to watermark a video using Virtualdubmod, which is a modified version of Virtualdub. Virtualdub and Virtualdubmod are both free open source video editing software packages, there are loads of plugins and additional filters for 'em and they're both pretty easy to use.

Hope it is of some help!

Hi

The best software for watermarking video - VideoCharge Studio.

It soft supports to draw PNG file on every frame video file, draws text (for example, with you name), and save file to any video format.

You can also set vector for move watermark during playback, add appearence/deaparance options and more other...

I beg to differ there, I've used virtualdub and virtualdubmod for loads of video editing over the past few years (alongside loads of other free video editing tools). It's not at all useless. It's not particularly difficult to use, but I guess it can be a bit awkward when first starting out; and it certainly doesn't do everything. But once you've had a play with it and got your head around how to use it properly and where it's strengths lie, it's a great tool.

For something as simple as watermarking a video, it certainly beats paying shedloads of cash for similar software.
But then that's just my opinion, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, heh heh! :D

Cheers for now,
Jas.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Forget all.

1. If you know flash, then import your video within flash
2. Also Import your png logo into the flash file and palce it whever you want in front of the video.
3. Ensure that you have set the stage size to your video size
4. Publish it as swf

Hope it helps!
