Have a program that adds watermark to video and pictures, however, there are also a LOT of programs that easily remove watermarks. As for taking them to court to prove the video was your, well, that would be be a lengthy and expensive course of action unless your making a lot off the video and the other party is as well. Any watermark program I've found and tested is just as easily removed by other programs. So basically, it's all useless.

For those of us that probably will never need to add a watermark, I am curious how you all rate this giveaway for it's video converting ability ?

Correction! Desktop icon did appear after restarting the computer. But did not appear when first installed.

Good program, thanks xp-man. Small problem with desktop icon appears on START screen, but not on desktop screen. Had to manually install. Using Win8x64.

#3. This is version 2.5.

with a 26/74 split on rating for this... can someone suggest an ALTERNATE program that has a BETTER rating??

Does nothing??

Re # 13, if you have watermarked it and someone removes that for their purposes, you have proof of your ownership (and date of watermarking, hopefully) and can pursue legal action. Of course, that is expensive.

This program is better than you think because you don't have to
use it as a watermark program if you don't want to.You can use it
as a video converter only by not putting any text or watermark on to
your vidoes.

The free version of “Flash OwnerGuard” does almost nothing

End the competition will sell you a water mark remover for the same amount of money.
Unless a water mark can not be removed this software is useless.

Was able to add more animated GIFs that I downloaded from the Internet and put them in the
c:\Program Files\WonderFox Video Watermark\WonderFox Video Watermark\Example\Animated folder.


All that was necessary then for them to appear at the end of the animated GIFs interface was to change the file name so they sequenced with the other animations. Even animations of animals running across the screen worked well, the kids are going to love these little videos and they can even make their own.

I used to put watermarks on my videos and photoshop projects , until I got an email from a well known website who offered me an obscene amount of money for the use of one funny little clip...with one condition: get rid of the watermark !
I did..had a lovely holiday out of it.

Don't know where you live, but I can ensure you that "VirtualDub" and "Flash OwnerGuard" are both FREE!!!

If "Flash OwnerGuard" is not enough for you, it means that you are an extremely professional chap who can afford buying more sophisticated and expensive software.

So why moaning??

Also thank to the giveaway team that allows us to discover new softwares. Also thank to the editors for their participation.

Giovanni and Ashraf, you're like an encyclopedia. We appreciate it. Continue to give us good advices.

The installation was without any problems on Win 64.

The programme started quickly and its interface is clear and easy to manipulate. I managed to add Text, picture and shape watermark without any problems within seconds.

The production of the video was quite lengthy (30 min video - 20 min conversion) but the resulting file was even smaller than the original (30MB to 19 MB) while there was no obvious difference in the quality of the output.

You can see the file here: http://www.aj3000.org/demo/demo.html

The software is great I only do not see why anyone would watermark their videos if they want to share them. I would love if the the watermark was interactive but as far as the software is concerned it is excellent.
Thumbs up.

I checked out your alternatives: Apowersoft and Armjisoft. I'm sure they work, but they are certainly not free. They both have ridiculous limitations unless you buy a license. I didn't check out your alternatives to placing watermarks on files, but I will try this one out and see what I think.

Excellent tool today but to add a watermark on your videos you can also use freeware alternatives like VirtualDub and/or Windows Movie Maker:

http://gaizy.hubpages.com/hub/Tutorial-How-to-watermark-your-videos-with-Windows-Movie-Maker-WMM

But did you know that it's also possible to remove any watermarks & logos from any videos for FREE??

http://www.apowersoft.com/remove-watermark-from-video.html

So what?? LOL!

Another smarter and more professional way to protect the digital ownership rights of your videos is actually to add on them a DRM Protection....how about doing that for FREE??

Enjoy!!

An extremely easy program to use with an excellent interface and the ability to add customised images make it a rather versatile program.
I added a watermarks consisting of an animated image plus text without any problems.
It's not so much as a watermark program that interest me but because of its versatility it may be possible to make amusing little videos for the grandchildren.
So granddads going to play :-)

I'm interested in knowing which version this is?
As this link http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/video-watermark/check-latest-version.html says the latest version is version 2 as previously given here, and this link http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/video-watermark/ says the latest version is version 2.5
Not the most organized company as both links came from within the program itself.

Pros
*Supports text, image, and shape watermarks
*Supports many video formats
*Batch processing
*Add multiple watermarks to videos
*Add watermark to specific portion or whole videos
*Will resize watermarks relative to video size

Cons
*Forces you to convert videos

Free Alternatives
Video to Video Coverter (it is a video converter that can add watermarks to videos)
