Can I add a logo to video using AviDemux ?

Maybe I can add logo to the avisynth script and use the avisynth script in avidemux. But is there a plugin for Avidemux or avisynth ?

AviSynth has a filter for this. It's called "Overlay". Create a clip from your logo and overlay it. If it's an image, you can use ImageSource.

Avidemux has a built-in logo filter.

I cannot find it under filters when trying to encode a video.

using 2.5.0 r4871

It might be missing in that build. It's there in 2.4.4

It doesn't support alpha channel; so if this is something you need, you could use avisynth or vdub's logo filters

There is an "avs proxy gui" that facilitates .avs scripts for avidemux as another option

I think you are right

all I see under Miscellaneous are the following.


Partial (empty)

Add Framenumber

MPlayer delogo

Whirl


I see that 2.4.4 is quite an old build. Can I get the filter from it and put in the latest build ?

You are right. The logo flilter is missing in Avidemux 2.5 for some reason...

Use Avisynth's logo filter or fall back to Avidemux 2.4.4 for this task. Don't use Avidemux 2.4.4 for your final encoder though...

many other filters are missing also.

If I plan on encoding to Xvid, should 2.4.4 be fine ?

And can't I take the logo plugin file from 2.4.4 and put it in 2.5 ?

Probably. But you would use an older version of Xvid.

You can export from Avidemux 2.4.4 to some lossless format (FFV1 or HuffYUV) and do the final encode in Avidemux 2.5 though.

Or you go the Avisynth route...

2.4.4 did not have any plugins :p

tha might take longer than I want it to. I just want to upload the video to Youtube HD in the end.

I meant filters. can you take the logo filter out of 2.4.4 and put it in 2.5 ?

You miss the point. In Avidemux 2.4 all the filters were "built-in", although you already could add "external" filters (optionally).

Avidemux 2.5 massively uses Plugins. Every video filter, every encoder and ever decoder is a Plugin now. There are no "built-in" video filters any more ;)

Consequently there's nothing you could "take" from Avidemux 2.4 and throw it on an Avidemux 2.5 build!

Instead all the filters that were "built-in" in Avidemux 2.4 need to be ported to Plugins for Avidemux 2.5. Some are still missing, as you have noticed.

Are you working on a new build ? or do you just host them on your site ?

The latter. You may open a thread in the Avidemux forum and hope that Mean or Gruntster are willing to port the Logo filter for you...
