What I need to to is convert/resize/watermark my .avi files so I can use them in the .flv player online. What should I do first? (So that they load fast online) Is there an easy way to do this?

I need some software to do the following:

1) Watermark: I need to add a watermark to a .AVI video file.

2) Convertion: I need the .AVI files converted to .flv

3) Resize: The video (.AVI) files that I have now are 1024 in size. I need them to be made smaller so they can be played on the normal size flv players. BTW what size should they be so they will fit on Youtube?

(BTW I’m using Win XP)

Sorenson Squeeze is good software. I’m not sure about the watermarking though.

If purpose is to upload videos on youtube only then youtube does it all for you but I am not sure whether youtube allows you to put watermark on video files or not.

Telestream’s Episode Pro allows you to add a custom watermark from a file. I’m sure if it is a PC application though.

Umm, you can use any video editing software for the watermarking. Ummm look for something open source, free, or cheap. As far as the converting goes…you get great results converting AVI ’s to FLV within quicktime.

Yeah you can use you editing aps to do that just import your logo or watermark and drop it into the corner, pull down the opacity and export it.

what did you use to create the AVI files?

Thanks for your comments,

In regards to the watermark I need to add the FlashDen logo over the preview files. I took some video of rally racing & Super fast Jet ski racing and some other good stuff that would be nice for full screen video & Flash Intros. I want to upload them here to flashden.

I’m planning on purchasing the software but I would like to know what you think is good to use.

What software do you guys use to add the watermarks & resize & covert to .flv ext….

Um for creating and watermarking my videos I use After Effects mainly, but thats a bit steep if all you need is to watermark your videos.

As far as converting…I get great quality conversions from avi/mov – FLV through quicktime pro.

compare the prices of video editing software, There are cheaper ones that can do what you need to. you don’t need the professional versions to do what need, the consumer versions will be fine.

try this:
