Filter_logo Documentation

This filter allows you to put an image into the video.
Every image format Image Magick can read ist supported and
ImageMagick can read a lot of different formats.

So you need ImageMagick installed on your system and enabled
during compile time of transcode

The transparency information (if the image has one) is handled
correctly. This is very nice if you use PNG or GIF.

The position of the image can be specified using the `posx' resp.
`posy' parameters. There are 5 predefined positions for your
convenience which are "Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom
Right and Center" available through `posdef'. Origin of the image is
at the very top left.

Support parameters:
  
  - help

  - file=$FILENAME [required]
    The image file you want to use.
  - pos=$X_POSITIONx$Y_POSITION

  - posdef=$arg

      arg=3: Bottom Left
      arg=4: Bottom Right
      arg=5: Center
  - range=$START_FRAME-$END_FRAME
    defines a frame range in which the image should appear in the
    video

Usage Examples:

$ transcode ... -J logo=file=mylogo.png:range=0-100:posdef=5

  center of the screen.
