How To: Add Logo/Watermark To Video With iMovie 9.0.2, (iLife ’11).

In this clip I am going to add a simple text logo/watermark, (it could just as easily be a graphic), to iMovie 9.0.2 quickly and painlessly.

And WITHOUT getting the blacked-out box over your logo.

The steps are fairly simple:

  1. Load your iMovie project
  2. Create an alpha, (transparent), Portable Network Graphics image in your favorite image editing software with the same dimensions as your project, (mine was 1280×720).
  3. Copy/Paste your logo, or create your graphic.
  4. Save file as png.
  5. Drag this image on to your clip and adjust image runtime to your preference.
  6. Edit Crop/Fit/Ken Burns and finalize project.
