Add Logo and Image Overlays to Video

Add Logo and Image Overlays to Video

Drop a logo, watermark, or any image onto your video canvas. Position and resize it with drag-and-drop, control when it appears on the timeline, and add animations. PNG transparency is preserved.

How It Works

1. Create an image overlay: open the overlay creation dialog and select “Image.” Choose from the built-in asset library or import your own file (PNG, JPG, or other common image formats).

2. Position and resize: the image appears on the video canvas with drag and resize handles. Drag to move it. Pull corner handles to resize. Use the rotation handle to angle it.

3. Set timing: the image overlay has its own timeline track. Drag the edges to control when it appears and disappears. For a persistent watermark, extend it across the full video duration.

4. Add animations: apply enter/exit animations (fade, slide, scale) so the image does not pop in abruptly. A fade-in over ~400ms is common for logos.

5. Import your own files: click the import option to load an image from your file system. The image is added to your project’s asset library for reuse.

Key Details

PNG transparency is preserved. Import a logo with a transparent background and it renders correctly over the video content. No white rectangles, no artifacts.

Built-in image library included. Velocaption ships with background images and graphics you can use immediately. These are non-deletable and always available.

Independent timeline track. Each image overlay gets its own track. Multiple images can overlap in time: they layer in creation order.
