Watermark
Just like a traditional TV station, you can mark your channel with a distinctive translucent logo in the corner.
This technique requires you to have background on the external VLC technique.
Instructions
- Create your logo with an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop. Make sure you hide the background layer if your logo is not square shaped. The exported image must be in the PNG-24 format.
- Open up your external VLC.
- Set the default stream output chain to:
#transcode{sfilter=logo{file='C:\Users\Name\Desktop\logo.png', position=10,transparency=150}, vcodec=h264, venc=x264{bpyramid=none, weightp=0}, vb=700, acodec=mp3, ab=96, channels=2}:std{access=http, mux=asf, dst=127.0.0.1:1234}
Options
- file - This is the absolute path to your logo.
- transparency - This is how see-through the logo is. 0 is completely transparent. 255 is completely opaque.
- position - The alignment of the logo. If you specify position, don't specify x and y (and vice versa).
- x - The number of pixels to move the logo from the left edge of the video.
- y - The number of pixels to move the logo from the top edge of the video.
