  • Appending a logo to an existing video?

    Posted by Jonathan Hay on April 30, 2006 at 3:11 am

    I created a video with DVA. I would like to add my logo at the end without re-rendering the entire video in vegas. I rendered the logo and my music separately. I can not get the second audio track in DVA to start anywhere except at the beginning of the video. I obviously want it to start at the end of the video where the logo track is now playing.

    Similarly, I have a .wmv version. Is there any way to get them to play one after the other from the web site so I don’t have to re-render them?

    Thanks so much

    I’m not sure I follow your problem. You didn’t say which version of DVDA, so we’ll assume that you’re up to date.

    Your audio must be AC3 or DVDA will encode it for you. Double click on the movie media and in properties and find “end action”. You want it to go to your logo media. As long as your logo media is .mpg and .ac3, then it should work.

    I used the end video link and then linked to my media in DVDA 3.0 this worked great. Thanks so much!

    Any idea how to link to wmv files or rm files? I have two versions of each. One wmv is the original file and the second wmv is the logo. I want people to click on one and then watch both videos (the feature and the logo). I don’t want to re-render because the original render took many hours and I have several of these to do.

    There are small apps that let you stitch wmvs together without any re-rendering. I haven’t done it, myself, so I can’t give you a direct referral but I have seen it done. (Perhaps Windows Media File Editor — directly from Microsoft — does this?)

    “Any idea how to link to wmv files or rm files?”

    The DVD video files can only be MPEG-2. You can recompress the WMV files in Vegas or let DVDA do it for you, but you’re SOL with RM.
