More and more people upload their video files to internet sites, and problem of video protection from unauthorized usage becomes more and more important.

The most effective way is to apply watermarks – for example text with site’s address or graphical logotype. Even if someone uses such video content, it will only advertise the author.

However, it is very simple to cut out logotypes of such type using any program for video editing.

Cut off part of video giving up small part of a frame - and your video will lose any protection! Or if watermark is displayed only at the beginning, – simply to cut out video scene with watermark…

Of course, watermark could be applied in a way that it couldn’t be cut out, but at that image will suffer as will contain one big watermark.

Solution I’m offering here is very simple. You need to create watermarks which would appear in different places, be shown during some period of time and faded, appear again but in other places (or the same) and so on several times while playing video.

Evidently, for one thing, it’s difficult to cut off such watermark (especially if it appears in different places), to cut out the scene if there’re several ones, and the main thing - every such watermark needs individual processing - it will tire anyone!

And how to make several watermarks that would appear and fade randomly. I can suggest to use Watermark Master program. Using its wizard it’s simple to implement that.

In a nutshell, run Watermark Master (Google), following wizard instructions – select text watermark, click Next until you get Watermark Timeline Settings, set time for watermark displaying, 10 seconds, for example; using Advanced button, select “Display repeatedly” option - set time for pause between watermarks displaying and that’s all!

However wizard will create only one watermark, if you need more – go back to main application and Copy-Paste required number times, for every new watermark, mix Timeline – and that’s all.

Hope, it will help someone, if you have any questions, write and I’ll answer more fully.

There are lot of way as people say.

But the real thing is that its impossible to protect video from piracy.

Okay

But send me some watermarked video after any kind of conversion

I will remove it :P

yep u're saing the true but u can stop de piracy ... if u want...

There is only one way to take a large dent out of having your video copied. slit it by frame and save them as graphics files. Then run them through a graphics editor 4, no maybe even better 5 times, saving the file as a jpeg with the highest compression possible each time. Make sure to use a differnet effect on all of them. Use Gimp or Photoshop if you get bored with this process.

When you are all done, Add a huge logo to every frame, then package it all together into a video again. You may have to reset the audio at this point to make sure it syncs correctly.

Take your now hard to see movie with the glaring Logo and upload it to any torrent site, even put it on youtube. Don't worry about getting a website, it seems to be the "cool" thing these days to have the links point to any server host with a 404 error page.

Now tell everyone about your video and don't forget to mention that you can make tons of money by simply joining gambling sites and pulling your money back out

Now no one will copy your video. They will come look and behold that everything they wanted it for, you have already done. The only reason someone will steal your work is if they get the idea to edit in the shadowy head that seems to float across the screen in some of their more popular uploads.

Don't worry about putting out a product because of piracy issues.

I know of several businesses and individuals on the Internet, and the number is in the millions who are begging to give away a video. Other than a few cheapskates, the majority of those who want to take you for your profit do not run in the same circles as most of your traditional clientèle.

Forge ahead. The only successful copyprotection is a clear conscience. I am merely human.
