How To Add a Watermark to Your Videos in Premiere Pro
In today's tutorial, we show you how to add a watermark in Adobe Premiere Pro, and learn some basic skills in production of Premiere Pro. We also talk about some tips on copyrights and logo transparency.
A watermark is a visible image imprinted or embossed directly onto the paper or digitally added onto an image later. It would be your name, your company logo, the company name, the copyright symbol or nearly anything that marks that image as belonging to you. Some are extremely obvious while others are hidden (much to the chagrin of a thief under fire). Watermarks are used on nearly every paper source; banknotes, passports, easy to purchase reams of paper (remember that episode of "The Office" where someone watermarked the paper with an "obscene image"), digitally created images and photographs. Watermarking is an ancient practice, dating back to 13th century Italy. As soon as paper making started, watermarking became necessary. Cartiere Miliani in Fabriano is credited with the earliest watermark dating 1282. But funny enough, things have not changed much over the past seven and a half centuries. People are still protecting their paper and their work using simple watermarks.
Copyrighting is a more in-depth way to protect your work. According to the United States Copyright Office website, it is the "protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors of 'original works of authorship'...This protection is available to both published and unpublished works...the 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
to reproduce the work in copies...
to prepare derivative works based upon the work...
to distribute copies or photo records of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership...
to display the work publicly..."
Essentially, if you took the picture and want to copyright it, you control what happens with that image as long as you own the copyright.
