Simple steps to add a logo/ watermark with an embedded link to your video or multiple clips



Lots of people like to add their logo or watermark and their URL to video files. Right here, I will show you simple steps to add a professional looking logo or watermark and embed a target link to your logo using a powerful program called SocuSoft Web Video Player. Different from other tools, this Web Video Player actually allows you to add the logo to the player but not to the videos. However, when you play your video, the logo will display on it. Because of this useful feature, you may also add your logo once but for multiple video clips and it saves your time. Below is the preview of the logo which looks like on the video.



Step 1
Prepare your logo or watermark with a suitable size to match the ratio of player. The image size I created is: 127x35 pixels

Step 2
Download and install SocuSoft Web Video Player. Then load the program and add video at "Video" tab. After that, switch to "Themes" tab and choose "Featured List Series". You may pick one from them. When completed, click the button "Customize Properties" at the bottom right corner. You will enter the default parameter setting panel. Find the Watermark > Image/Flash item and click on the right blank to add your logo or watermark as shown below. Below this item is "Target link" for your logo. If you want to embed a link to logo, you may copy your link and paste it into this field. Done! You may now click "preview" to view the effect. (Note: I picked a white default template and modified the "Hue" item parameter to "2.29" and the color of the player turned out to be the one as shown above.)



Step 3
Switch to "Publish" tab and publish web video player files. When finished, upload the files to your website.

After you finish reading this article, you may find that embedding videos into a web page will not be a challenge any more.

There are lots of Internet videos of different formats such as mpeg, avi and QuickTime (mov), while the most popular format currently is flash video (.flv). And the most commonly used method to embed video today is via a .flv file and a Flash player. In this article, we will discuss how to convert videos of different formats into .flv format and add them to your website or blog.

Well, it's still a process from creating your own videos to publishing them to your site or blog, but there are some excellent tools that don't require you to be a video expert in order to use them effectively! For creating videos, you may use Windows Movie Maker. For converting videos, right here I use Clone2Go Video Converter Free Version. For publishing videos, I recommend Socusoft Web Video Player. Simple steps are needed. You may find that embedding a video onto a web page is as easy as cutting and pasting.

(First Part: How to Convert Videos)

First Step: Check Video Format -- Convert Video into FLV

After installation of video converter, launch the program. Go to File -> Add Video Files. If you need to convert movies in batches, select “Batch Add Video Files”. You can also capture Video from DV by selecting “capture Video from DV” when necessary.

When the input video file is ready, turn to the profile at the bottom right of the main window for the options of output video formats and choose "Flash Video Movie (*.flv)". After that, click “Encode” to start video conversion. When finished, click "Folder" icon at the top shortcut menu to get the converted video.




(Second Part: How to Add Videos to Your Site or Blog)


Second Step: Download and Install Socusoft Web Video Player

Before we go any further, we need to a professional web video publishing tool -- Socusoft Web Video Player. Download it from

Last Step: Upload Files – Add Video to Your Website or Blog


1) Add video to your website

Click "Open Output Folder" and use upload tools such as CuteFTP to upload all of the files in the folder of "output" to your web space. You may create a new folder on your web space first such as "video" for the output files. If the created folder is in the root directory, the URL of your web video should be:

http://www.*****.com/video/***(name of the published html file).html


2) Add web video to your blog or forum and more


You may also add your published web videos to your blog or forum and more. Here is an example of adding videos to google blog.


Click "Open Output Folder". Then, open the html file with FrontPage, Dreamweaver or Notepad. The html file is the same with the one uploaded.




Right here, I use Notepad to open the above-mentioned html file and switch to the code mode and change the paths like the following screenshot. Please note that you need to input your website URL instead of " *****.com" as shown below.





After that, copy the code between "object" as above. Go to your google blog and paste the code as shown below. After that, publish the post. You may now view your web video on google blog.




Sample: http://funny-video-youtube.blogspot.com

Video and digital imaging - Introduction to digital video

What is a video?
A video is a succession of images presented at a certain rate. The human eye is able to distinguish approximately 20 images per second. Thus, when more than 20 images are displayed per second, it is possible to mislead the eye and create the illusion of an animated image. The fluidity of a video is characterized by the number of images per second (frame rate), expressed in FPS (Frames per second.
In addition, multi-media video is usually accompanied by sound, i.e. audio data.
Digital and analogue video
“Animated images” are usually classified into several large families:
Cinema, which consists in storing the succession of negative images on a film. The film is displayed by using a light source which projects the successive images, from a positive copy, onto a screen.
Analogue video, which represents information as a continuous flow of analogue data, is intended to be shown on a TV screen (based on the scanning principle). There are several standards for analogue video. The three main ones are:
PAL
NTSC
SECAM
Digital video, which consists in coding the video in a succession of digital images.
PAL
The PAL/SECAM format (Phase Alternating Line/Sequential Colour with Memory), used in Europe for Hertzian television, makes it possible to code videos on 625 rows (only 576 are displayed because 8% of the rows are used for synchronization), at a rate of 25 images per second with a 4:3 format (i.e. with a 4/3 width/height ratio).
However, at 25 images per second, many people perceive a beat in the image. Thus, since it was not possible to send more information due to band-width limitations, it was decided to interlace the images, i.e. to send the even rows initially, then the odd rows. The term “field” thus indicates the “half-image” formed either by the even rows, or by the odd rows. The whole transmission consisting of two fields is called the interlaced screen. When there is no interlacing the term progressive screen is used.

Thanks to this process called "interlacing", a PAL/SECAM television set displays 50 fields per second (i.e. at a frequency of 50 Hz), that is to say, 2x25 images in two seconds.
NTSC
The NTSC standard (National Television Standards Committee), used in the United States and Japan, uses a system of 525 interlaced rows at 30 images/second (i.e. at a frequency of 60Hz). As in the case of the PAL/SECAM, 8% of the rows are used to synchronize the receiver. Thus, since the NTSC displays a 4:3 image format, the resolution actually displayed is of 640x480.
Digital video
Digital video consists in showing a succession of digital images. Since these digital images are displayed at a certain rate, it is possible to know the necessary video display rate, i.e. the number of bytes displayed (or transferred) per unit of time.
Thus, the necessary rate to display a video (in bytes per second) is equal to the size of the image multiplied by the number of images per second.
Consider a true color image (24 bits) with a definition of 640X480 pixels. In order to correctly display a video with this definition, it is necessary to display at least 30 images per second, i.e. at a rate equal to: 900 KB * 30 = 27 MB/s
Subsampling
Since the eye is not very sensitive to chrominance variations, the technique known as chroma subsampling (also called decimation, consists in removing chrominance information from a group of 4x4 pixels.
