Freeware movie annotation
March 26, 2005 8:12 AM
Is there any freeware (W2K) that I can use to annotate a movie clip? I just want to stick a copyright string at the bottom of the picture (for the whole clip).
Thanks, but as far as I can see that will only allow me to add information that will display outside the picture and only if you use the Windows Media player. I wanted to add text to the actual video so it's part of the video itself. Unless I missed some feature with the WM Encoder?

Oh you want to add a watermark, hmm to the best of my knowledge I don't know of any free applications that do that.

You may find better results searching for "video titling" software since that's what you want to do. Annotation is something else entirely.

VirtualDub will do that. Use the filter to add a logo. E-mail me if you get hung up.

In Vdub, it might actually be easier to use the TextSub filter and make your text a burned in subtitle. Then you dont have to worry about transparency problems with adding a logo. This all, of course, assumes that Vdub can work with your original file format.
