If you’re using videos to promote your business, we highly recommend adding a watermark with your brand’s logo to every single video you roll out.

Adding your brand’s logo as a watermark to your videos can help you:

Increase Brand Awareness
Build a Long-Lasting Image of Your Brand
Capture Your Audience’s Attention
Maintain a Professional Image
Protect Your Videos Against Theft

And the good news is – you don’t need to use a complex video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro to add logo to your videos.

Yes – platforms like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro are great – but they have a steep learning curve. Also, you can’t use these platforms to write down your script, record videos, and automatically roll them out to your social media channels at the click of a button.

But with BIGVU, you can.

Throughout this blog post, we’ll show how to quickly add your brand’s logo to your videos as awatermark to your video in a few easy steps

Let’s dive in.

The steps to add a logo to videos are almost similar on Android and iOS. So, we haven’t created dedicated sections for both. To add your brand’s logo to your videos on your mobile device, follow these steps:

Record or Import a Video
Select the Video You’d Like to Add Your Brand’s Logo to
Select “Crop, Captions, Logo, Green Replace”
Upload Your Brand’s Logo
Work on the Size & Placement

Record or Import a Video

First, launch the BIGVU application on your mobile device. Log in to your account, if you haven’t created one. You can sign up for free. Once signed up and logged in, click on the “+” button at the bottom. As you do, you’ll see four options:

Record No Script – if you don’t want to record a script prior to recording your video, you can select this option.
Import Video – you can import a video from your device using this option.
AI Magic Writer- Use AI to generate a video script with just a few prompts
New Script – BIGVU allows you to write down a script prior to recording a video.

For now, we’ll import a video from our gallery, so we’ll select the “Import Video” option. As you do, you’ll get numerous options:

If you select “Video Editing,” you’ll be able to directly edit your video after uploading it. But here – we’ll head over to our dashboard after we upload the video – as we want to show you the options you need to choose – should you decide to record your video or edit it at a later stage.

Now, you can select the video you want to import to BIGVU. Once you select the video, BIGVU will automatically compress and process your video.

Let’s head over to the dashboard now.

Select the Video You’d Like to Add Your Brand’s Logo to

Name and select your project from the project's dashboard.

In the take screen, choose the take that you would like to add the logo to.

Select “Magic Style"

Upon clicking on the video, you’ll see numerous options – of which we’ll select “Magic Style” to add your logo to the video.

As you click on it, BIGVU will ask you to choose whether you want to style with captions or with no captions.

If you want to add a caption to your video, you can select the “Style with captions” option or just select the “Style with no captions” option.

Upload Your Brand’s Logo

Under BIGVU video editor, you’ll be able to make multiple edits to your video like:

Resizing and cropping your video.
Selecting a theme.
Adding logo to the video.
Adding music to the video.
Boosting audio.
Adding intro and outro.
Caption readjusting – if you select the “Style with captions” option.

To add a logo to the video, we’ll select the second button at the bottom- with the paintbrush icon.

Next, click on the square box below the “Logo.(1)”

Upload your brand’s logo – upon uploading it, it’ll take a few moments to be processed.

Work on the Size & Placement

Using the “Size” and “Select Position,” options, you can adjust the size and position of the logo.

Upon adding your brand’s logo to the video, click on “Save” to save the changes. If you want to make more edits, you can go ahead and do it. Once done, click on “Make Video” in the top-right corner. You’ll get a popup like:

Select “Make Video.”

Depending on the edits you’ve made, BIGVU will take a few seconds to minutes to process them. BIGVU will create a new version of the video – with the logo, while also keeping the original one.

Import or Record a Video

First, head over to www.bigvu.tv and sign up, if you haven’t already. As soon as you sign up and log in, you’ll be taken to the BIGVU dashboard. From here, you can either import or record a video. To import the video, you can choose to add captions (1) or import video (2). We’ll select the “Import Video Add Captions” option in the dashboard.

BIGVU will take a few moments to upload and process your video – depending on the size. Once the video is uploaded and processed, BIGVU will ask you whether you want to edit the video now or later.

You can go ahead and edit it now - you’ll be taken to the video maker. But should you decide to edit later, you can just choose “Later.”

For now, we’ll select “Later” as we want to show you the steps you can follow to launch the video maker.

‍

Launch Video Maker

To launch the video maker on BIGVU, click on the three vertical dotted line as displayed in the screenshot and select “Edit” . In the pop up, choose Video Maker.

Add Your Brand’s Logo as a watermark

In the video maker, under “Logo” - click on “+ Add Logo” to add your brand’s logo. Upon adding your brand’s logo, just click on your logo and select “Save.”

Once added, you’ll see a toggle “Visible” set as off. Turn it on.

When you turn it on, BIGVU will ask you whether you want to add the logo to all your scenes. If you want to add your logo to just a few scenes, select “No.” But in this case, since we want to add to all scenes, we’ll select “Yes.”

‍

Alongside this, you can adjust the size of the logo - depending on your needs. Once you’re done adding the logo, if you want to make additional changes, you can go ahead and make some modifications in the video maker. However, if not, you can select the “Create” option in the top-right corner to apply the changes.
