| This page describes how to add a logo on your video using the logo filter. | Other "how to" pages |
Contents
Idea
This How To just explains how to use the logo filter in order to add a logo on your videos, like a TV.
Local
vlc --sub-filter logo --logo-file logo.png video.avi
Stream
vlc --logo-file logo.png video.avi --sout "#transcode{vcodec=...,vb=...,sfilter=logo}:std{...}"
Make sure you do not specify --sub-filter logo, and that you specify a vcodec= value in the transcode part.
Save the new video locally
vlc --logo-file logo.png video.avi --sout "#transcode{vcodec=...,vb=...,sfilter=logo}:std{access=file,dst=new_video.avi }
Dynamically change logo using RC, then send output to stream and local debugging display
vlc -I rc --logo-file nonexistent_dummy.png --sout "#transcode{vcodec=...,vb=...,sfilter=logo}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{...}}"
# Once the program has started
add video.avi
logo-file logo.png
This requires a --logo-file, but for some reason it won't work if you specify "--sub-filter logo". Nor does it apparently work if the transcode doesn't specify vcodec=.
A non-existent logo-file currently removes any logos from the video, and does not result in an error. Since you must specify one on the command-line, "nonexistent_dummy.png" was used.
