As a prolific netcitizen you have produced the next big hit video that is set to
go viral on YouTube. In this tutorial I will show you how to use your video to promote yourself. I will walk you through the whole process. Crab a bagel and lets get going!
What you need to have: Adobe Photoshop, QuickTime Pro
Photoshop Watermark Madness
1. Open the file you want to use to watermark your video: watermark.psd 
2. Create a new Photoshop image using the same dimensions as your video.
For my video tutorials I usually use 640 x 480 pixels, but since this video if for YouTube we are going to use the YouTube default setting of 320 x 240 pixels. So I create a the new Photoshop image that is 320 x 240 pixels. You want to get a feel for how big or small you want to make your logo so that it looks proportional in the final video. 
3. Copy and paste your watermark image –watermark.psd into the new video mockup image you made above 
4. Resize the watermark image as needed so that it looks proportional to your video 
5. Crop the watermark image and save it as a transparent gif:
File > Save for Web
6. Name it watermark.gif 
Now we can close Photoshop and move on the QuickTime part of our YouTube Watermarking fun.
Quicktime Production
7. Open up the watermark.gif file using Quicktime pro: File > Open
8. Select the image : Edit > Select All 
9. Copy the image: Edit > Copy
10. Using QuickTime Pro open up the movie you would like to watermark :
File > Open
11. Add the watermark.gif file you had copied to the movie you want to watermark: Edit > Add to Selection & Scale 
By default the watermark will be displayed in the top right corner.
I wanted my watermark in the bottom left. See screenshot below 
13. By default the watermark will be displayed in the top right corner. I wanted mine to be displayed in the bottom left. In order to move the watermark we have have edit the movie properties: Windows > Show Movie Properties
14. Now we can change the offset & the transparency level of the watermark so that it blends in with the movie.
The logo should now be displayed when you play the movie in QuickTime.
15. Now we can export the movie that included our new watermark :
File > Export 
Make sure to save as Movie to QuickTime Movie
16. Upload the movie to YouTube, here is mine
