  • How to add a watermark while keeping video quality ?

    Hello everybody,

    I just started Adobe Premiere Pro CC2015 yesterday so my question might be super easy for many of you…

    Basically, I have a few small videos (320×240, 426×240 in MP4 format) and I need to add a watermark to them without screwing with the bit of quality that the video can offer…

    So far, I tried to follow a youtube guide on how to do this by adding the image watermark in the V2 line however the watermark logo becomes super ugly when I set the video in fullscreen (ultra pixelised). I also tried to use a “Sequence” with these settings:

    • 1920 x 1080
    • D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
    • No Fields
    • 30 fps Timecode
    • 44100 Hz
    • Audio Samples
    • Microsoft AVI preview file format
    • DV (24p Advanced) Codec

    However, while the logo then seems to be fine, the video loses a lot of quality when going in full screen.

    If someone here might have a few tips for me I would be very grateful

    Thanks !

    I think the problem is trying to upscale from 240 to 1080. How does the watermark look at 100%?

    Hello,

    My image that I use as the watermark is a PNG file (transparency) with base dimensions of 1240×190
