Clean up video clips from annoying watermarks, text overlays and channel logos.
Channel logos on TV broadcasts, time and date stamps from camera recordings, blinking recording indicators, and other static overlays can now be easily deleted using Remove Logo Now!
The removal process is fairly simple. You count with three different selection methods that will help you deal with the different overlays you may come across. If it is plain static text that you want to remove from the selected video file, you may want to use the selection brush tool, which will help you select the different characters in a more accurate way. Besides, this way the program will have to work its magic on fewer pixels than when you use the rectangular selection, which will save you time and will guarantee better results. To make a better use of the brush, select the radius size that fits the thickness of the characters you want to remove and take advantage of the powerful zoom in/out functions provided to fine-tune your selection. Rectangular selection is an excellent choice for timestamps or any other dynamic overlays that change their shape throughout the video. The third option works like a lasso tool and will help you select overlays with an irregular shape in a more accurate way.
You can apply the selected action either to the entire video or to a specific interval only. Remove Logo Now! comes with no player, so you will need to play back the video on a third-party tool beforehand in order to define the interval with a certain level of accuracy. The program does show you static views of the different frames, which will change as you move the slider provided forwards and backwards, but the level of accuracy of this “frame viewer” and its slider leaves a bit to be desired.
The results that came out of this review are mixed – some logos simply disappeared completely, while other static overlays seemed harder to remove for no apparent reason. Dynamic overlays, such as time stamps, were always trickier, and in all cases, the complexity or the simplicity of the background did also influence the level of success. In view of the program’s price tag and the somehow unpredictable results, it seems wise to download the trial and try it first.
Pros
- Various selection methods
- Interval selection
- Adds watermarks
Cons
- No player to help select intervals
- Mixed results
- High price tag
When there are multiple watermarks in the video and their positions are different, it is not possible to mark multiple watermarks in different positions at the same time, and the processing is done at once! (I purchased v7.0 version and was prompted to upgrade to v9.0. However, 9.0 does not provide me with trial time, and I am unable to determine whether it is necessary to upgrade the v9.0 optimized features)
I use this program all the time and it works GREAT for a single non-shifting logo, but when the logo jumps around the program becomes a real pain in the a** to use, next to impossible, because selecting precise intervals is very difficult. Furthermore the ""find logo" button does not work at all on my computer for any video. I am running WIN10. (Haven't upgraded to WIN11 cuz it doesn't support my processor and I need to buy a whole new mobo and processor to run WIN11). Bottom line- program works great for 99.5% of all vids. I don't know anything about the free version. I paid for mine.
Thanks a lot is really useful for me, I feel so grateful with you all. thanks a lot
