Description	Overlays a logo on the video

The logo filter can be used to add a logo on the video. This logo can be a static image or series of image which will be displayed alternatively. When used as a video output filter, you can move the logo with the mouse.

Options

• logo-file <string> : Image to display. The full format is <image>[,<delay in ms>[,<alpha>]][;<image>[,<delay>[,<alpha>]]][;...].

• logo-x <integer> : X offset from upper left corner. (0.8.6d and prior: This is only if both logo-x and logo-y are positive). default value: 0 (0.8.6d and prior: -1)

• logo-y <integer> : Y offset from upper left corner. (0.8.6d and prior: This is only if both logo-x and logo-y are positive). default value: 0

• logo-position <integer> : Logo position: 0=center, 1=left, 2=right, 4=top, 8=bottom, you can also use combinations of these values, eg 6 = top-right. (0.8.6d and prior: This is only used if logo-x or logo-y are negative). default value: 5

• logo-opacity <integer> : Logo opacity. 0 is transparent, 255 is fully opaque.. default value: 255

• logo-delay <integer> : Global delay in ms. Sets the duration each image will be displayed for in a loop iteration unless specified otherwise in the --logo-file option.. default value: 1000

• logo-repeat <integer> : Number of loops for the logo animation. -1 for continuous, 0 to disable.. default value: -1

Examples

Example command line use (VLC 0.9.0 and above):

% vlc --sub-filter "logo{file=cone.png,transparency=128}" somevideo.avi

This command will display image cone.png in the video's upper right corner with 50% transparency.

% vlc --sub-filter "logo{file='cone1.png,2000,128;cone2.png,3000'}" somevideo.avi

This command will display image cone1.png for 2 seconds with 50% transparency followed by image cone2.png for 3 seconds at default transparency and loop.

Example command line (All versions including VLC 8.6d and prior):

% vlc --sub-filter=logo --logo-file=cone.png --logo-transparency=128 somevideo.avi
