I need something like youtube.com. Youtube automatically converts the video to flash and then places a watermark on it. On my website I wanna do the exact thing so if somebody uploads a video it automatically does the aforementioned. If you guys can help me with that it would be great.
Never really looked into watermarking video server side, just images. Only thing I can think of is the open source flash clone 'Ming'? http://ming.sourceforge.net/
I need to brand some videos too. But I have not started the project. I will watch this thread and see if I get any ideas or if I come up with one I'll share it. I'm not about to buy a viedo editing suite.
In terms of converting from video to Flash Video (FLV), the opensource app ffmpeg will do it. I don't know a whole lot about how watermarking could be done, i guess it depends on how FLV format itself works. http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
i have tried using the programs but i dunno how i can get the program to automatically put the watermark on the files that are uploaded. I am quite sure that it requires some programming. I dunno how to do it so if anyone knows how i'll greatly appreciate it.
Hi, My guess is the watermarks are imprinted on the video as a batch process, rather then on the fly, so when a new vid is uploaded, a job is ran on the video file and the watermark added then.... I dont know any program that can watermark 'videos' on the fly, but images can be easily watermarked on the server side , on the fly. The program i use is called GD, gd GD Support enabled GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled XBM Support enabled
