Watermarking and protecting your footage

[sharksdelight]

I thought that many of the folk here might benefit from this particular article I wrote for the editing websites. Hope someone finds it useful to them.

The link does not work. You have an ellipsis (...) in the URL for some reason.

Steve's article can be found here or here.

Thanks for pointing that out, I changed the url so it should work now.

Yep, it worked for me. I only submit lower quality video footage to websites, etc. No one gets my good stuff unless they pay dearly for it!

Steve, Thanks for reminding us about the importance of protecting our intellectual property and for a great tutorial!

Hey Folks, this would be a good time to introduce all here to Rick Allen of the above post from Nautilus Productions. This it the industry pro we all aspire to be and it was Rick who got on my case after seeing one of my short films that wasn't watermarked or protected. If Rick contributes something you'd best listen.

And all this time I was thinking people wanted to be like me with my Topdawg housing and Sony DCR-HC32 camcorder. Oh well......back to the drawing board. :depressed:
