Probably some of you make money with Youtube by video creation and video editing, what is the best free video watermark software for windows these days other than Windows Movie Maker?

I want to put a logo in the video to increase my brand awareness. Thanks for your recommendations!

I am also in need for this. I have already several videos uploaded in YouTube. to signify my ownership and my own work, I improvise a watermark for my video through a caption, but it does not look neat. I hope someone could spare his moment to share a free watermark for video in this thread.

I have some tools you guys will like that let you watermark photos and videos for free. Here's a list of 5 that work for photos (some PC/Windows, some Mac OS X), and at the end I have a free/30 day program that does video watermarking you can use for the PC:

1) CDWorks Watermark Photo Helper: (PC) http://www.customdworks.com/phHelper.aspx
2) uMark Lite (PC): http://freewatermarksoftware.com/
3) SquiggleMark (PC) : http://www.osletek.com/squigglemark/
4) VisualWatermark (watermark batch photos; hundreds at once): http://www.visualwatermark.com/
5) Star Watermark (this is for Mac OS X only, but does batch photos): http://www.star-watermark.com/

Video Watermarking (30 day trial):
Video-Watermark: http://www.video-watermark.com/

Another video watermarking program that is freeware (no trial, just free) is the Idoo Video editor which you can get here and then use this guide to place watermarks on your existing videos. (Note: If idoo video editor only becomes trialware, let me know and I'll try to find another one that isn't for you)

Since it is freeware, it might be better to use than video-watermark above unless you decide to buy it.

There are some that are free and online out there too that work out of the browser. Some of those come and go, but you can usually download any of these and use them offline as-needed for your watermarking needs.

The way that I used to watermark videos was to decompile an AVI or MPG into still frames in segments, and then use one of the free batch photo programs to add the watermark to it.

After this was done, I would reassemble the frames into an AVI again with a program like MakeAVI, and then use a free video editor (Windows Movie Maker works fine) to add the audio back and line it up with the video again.

It works well and is free, but takes extra time and more steps to do this manually

If you can afford to buy the software for it, it saves time and does that process automatically for you.

P.S: I just remembered that you can use a program called FormatFactory to add free watermark and logos to your videos. It's normally used just for converting formats, but it does have the option to add a logo to it before you convert it. So you can convert it to the same type of format, and add the watermark for free to the output video when you do. :) This one actually is freeware, since there are no paid options or trials for it.

P.P.S: Youtube has an in-video function that lets you add a logo to videos if you are using youtube and have already uploaded them. If you need to add the logo to a video you'll upload to other places like Vimeo, or display through your own web site or pages using HTML5, then using FormatFactory will make it to where you can do it once and have the logo everywhere regardless where you upload it to.
