  • What’s the best way to add Watermarks in FCP Studio?

    Posted by Jim Kropp on March 16, 2009 at 7:55 pm

    Is the best way to add a watermark to a FCP file to do it in Compressor? Squeeze 5? DVD Studio Pro? Or should I be nesting the sequence, and adding it in Final Cut as a superimpose/composted title effect? As usual, there are lots of different options available, but can anybody tell me what the most practical, and efficient way to add watermarks to video created in FCP and before posting it to the web? Thank you.

    Depends on the machine you are encoding with.

    If you have a multi-core machine, ideally and octo-core, Setting up a virtual cluster and adding the watermark in Compressor while encoding for the web would be the best bet.

    I just don’t like the quality I get out of compressor watermarks instead of using FCP. Am I missing a workflow?
