This guide will service the purpose of providing a basic walk through on how to do processing and watermarking of your clips for use on a clip store. Some steps you may not like, or agree with, but this is how _I_ do it for my own stuff.

1. Launch VideoCharge (VC)
2. If a box pops open. Close it.
3. Over on the left there is a VideoFile1/ImageFile1. Delete that ImageFile.
4. Open up your folder on hard drive, or computer, where the videos are you want to process.
5. Drag ONE from the folder, into the main middle window of VC. You should now see it showing on the menu to the left.
6. Click on that file. It should now show up in the main window.
7. Click on the tab, in the middle window, named ‘Watermark”. Scroll to the bottom.
8. There is a text box icon, far left, above the video. Click that.
9. A dashed box now appears. Up in the top right, you see www.whatever which matches box.
10. Put your url in the box in that top right window. It should udpate in main window.

Below the top right window there are a series of choices. These are used to pick the color of your watermark, the transparency, the size and font, as well as the placement. I would recommend you pick an easy color already on the choice list and then you will not need to try and find over and over. Myself, I use one color for a site. So all videos will be blue, green, red for that one site. It probably does not matter, but that’s how I prefer to do it.

I will pick Veranda or Ariel, then blue, transparency 50%, font size 14, bold. You can do what you like in that regard and play with it some.

At the bottom, you will see Axis. It’s a 9 square box. You will click lower left, or right, where ever you want your watermark. I like lower right. It moves it to the farthest position lower right. I do not like it there myself. Again, this comes to preference, I will move it up a bit from there so there is a little space between the border and url.

Once I have the url where I like it. I will click below the main video window (in gray area) to see how it looks. If satisfied, I think hit the green play button toward the upper left.

For you, since you are learning, I would recommend you only do one video at a time until you get used to it. Myself, I will do 10-15 at once. But I know what I am doing, and since I will be encoding these overnight while I sleep. I really do not worry about it. But until you get the feel for what you are doing, you need to take it slow.

You want to make sure that you have your clips watermarked, even if you are only doing a clip store out of the gate and launching a pay site later. Most people are not going to remember where a clip came from. Especially when people are buying from multiple stores. So if you have an easy url on them, they can find their way back to you. If you do not watermark them, good luck. You lose branding, and potential customers long term.
