Embedding Watermark into Video
Embed process contains two windows.
In first window you have to provide nine pieces.
Second window contains controls on embedding progress.
a. Prepare for
Watermarking

Figure 1.
Prepare for watermarking.
1.
Select an input video. Video file must be one of the supported formats. You may
follow the info panel (8) for supported
watermark and key image sizes.
2.
Select an output video. Video file must be one of the supported formats.
3.
Key Image is used to mask the watermark image. It must be a randomly generated
image filled with "1" and "0"s.
3.1.
A pregenerated image can be imported.
3.2.
For the first use a key image should be generated
with this tool. Width and
Height
fields must fit the needed sizes. Size information is seen by
holding mouse on
the fields or on the generate button after a correct input video has
given. After pressing
the generate button, key image field will be filled with randomly
generated
image and save button will be activated. The image can be save for
later use.
4.
Watermark image. Size must fit the input video. Image must contain black(0) and
white(255).
Other then that will be ignored. Watermark image should be created without
smoothing the
edge of fonts.
5.
Wavelet level defines the sub-frequency divisions. It should be left in default
state.
6.
Embed level depends on the DWTLevels value. It can't be bigger than DWTLevels.
Below there is the combination:
| DWTLevels |
Embed Level |
| 2 |
1 |
| 3 |
1 |
| 3 |
2 |
7.
Gain factor is the amount of robustness. If gain factor increases, so robustness
and the
visibility of change increases.
8.
Read the info panel to see how far we are to embed
the watermark.
9.
If all conditions are satisfied, embed button will
be enabled. Otherwise it will stay disabled.
b. Watermark Progress
Window

Figure 2. Embed progress.
Start embedding by pressing EMBED button. You
will be asked whether you want to compress
output video or not. Just choose your wish. You can always cancel the process.
