Add 'channel' logo to every frame

Question

Hi,
is there a way to add a tranparent background image to every frame of my movie, as if it was a channel logo ?
I could build a transparent image of the right resolution with the logo on the bottom right. But how do I add it ? Ideas ?

Answer 1

I have QTPro... How would you do that?
1) Create logo in graphic application like Photoshop with transparent background
2) Export as "Transparent Image" (e.g., with alpha-channel as in a PNG file)
3) Open your edited movie in QT Pro
4) Open the "logo" file using the "Open File" QT Pro option
5) Press Command-A to select the "single frame" logo
6) Press Command-C to store the logo in memory
7) Activate the edited movie player (i.e., mouse click on it)
8) Use the "Add to Selection & Scale" option to add the logo in memory to the edited movie and match the length of the added track to the length of your edited movie
9) Select the "logo" track in the upper half of the properties window and the "Visual Settings" tab in the lower half of the window
10) Set the "Tansparency" pop-up to "Straight Alpha" (Since the logo was the last track added it should be visible, but if it isn't, adjust "Layer" to a "lower" number to place it over your edited movie)
11) I usually reset playhead to beginning of the movie, press Command-B to deselect in/out points and save the file as a "Standalone" MOV file.
And that's all there is to it...
