FFMPEG Bulk Bash Script to Insert Watermark Image to All Videos in the Directory or Folder at Once

[00:08] Hello friends, today in this tutorial

[00:09] I'll be showing you that how to

[00:12] insert watermark to all the videos which

[00:15] are present inside a particular

[00:17] directory. And we will be doing it at

[00:20] once using FFmpeg. Basically, we will be

[00:22] writing a

[00:24] batch script batch file.

[00:27] And

[00:29] with the help of that batch script, we

[00:31] will be able to

[00:33] bulk

[00:34] watermark all the videos. You can just

[00:37] download the logo of your YouTube

[00:39] channel or if you have to have a

[00:41] subscribe logo,

[00:43] you can search the logo here. Let me

[00:45] show you example here. This will be

[00:47] placed at the top left corner of this

[00:49] video.

[00:50] You can place that any location. You

[00:52] need to provide the X coordinate and the

[00:54] Y coordinate. You can see this is a

[00:55] video which is running here.

[00:57] So, basically, all the videos which are

[00:59] present inside a directory, it will have

[01:01] this logo. You can see this is a second

[01:03] video.

[01:04] This is a third video.

[01:07] This is a fourth video.

[01:09] This is a fifth video. So, basically,

[01:11] the limit is unlimited.

[01:14] Uh

[01:15] in the directory, let's suppose you have

[01:17] 1,000 videos, you need to

[01:19] process 1,000 videos, it will still

[01:21] work.

[01:22] And this is a very fantastic uh batch

[01:25] script that I will be showing you in

[01:27] this live stream, which will be placing

[01:30] the watermark logo image inside any

[01:33] location inside the video. So,

[01:35] basically, many many a times you need to

[01:37] place the watermark on the videos and

[01:40] you don't want to do it manually because

[01:42] it

[01:43] uh

[01:45] it takes a lot of time doing manually,

[01:48] just going to a video editor and doing

[01:51] this process. So, I will be showing you

[01:53] a batch script which will place this

[01:55] logo at any location of your video.

[01:58] So, let's start the

[02:00] how to do it. So, first of all, guys,

[02:02] you need to have FFmpeg installed on

[02:04] your system. Just go to ffmpeg.org

[02:07] and download this software. It's a free

[02:09] software, open source, cross-platform.

[02:12] And

[02:13] download it for your own operating

[02:15] system. So, I have all successfully

[02:17] installed it. So, now to check it,

[02:19] simply write FFmpeg on the command line.

[02:21] If the command is successful, then you

[02:23] have successfully installed this

[02:24] library. Now you I have written a

[02:26] complete blog post on my tutorial

[02:28] website, Coding Shiksha. You can see

[02:30] this is the blog post I have written

[02:32] here. So, if you want to insert the

[02:34] watermark image, you can go to the

[02:36] description of this live stream.

[02:38] So, you can go to the description of

[02:40] this live stream here. I have given this

[02:42] link here. This is the link of the blog

[02:45] post. So, the command is given here in

[02:48] the

[02:49] blog post here. You will see

[02:50] step-by-step instruction is given. So,

[02:53] let's start doing it.

[02:55] So, you can see, first of all, let me

[02:56] delete this output directory.

[03:00] So, you can see, let me also delete

[03:02] these folders.

[03:09] So, you can see, guys, we have this logo

[03:11] image present here, which is a PNG file

[03:14] here. Basically, this is the logo which

[03:15] we will be inserting in all the videos.

[03:18] And rest is our videos. You can see this

[03:21] is the first video.

[03:23] This is the second video.

[03:26] This is the third video. This is the

[03:27] fourth video.

[03:29] Fifth video. Sixth video. So, there are

[03:31] almost six videos present here. 1 2 3 4

[03:35] 5 6. All the videos have MP4 extension.

[03:39] So, this needs to be the

[03:41] same extension.

[03:42] So, you don't have to have different

[03:45] extensions. You can also do it for

[03:47] different extension. This will be a

[03:48] different batch script. But in this live

[03:50] stream, I will be telling you if all the

[03:52] videos have same extension, let's

[03:54] suppose MP4, AVI, WMV, so this batch

[03:58] script will be written.

[03:59] So, now let me delete this batch script

[04:02] and write it once again.

[04:04] So, as you know that batch script is a

[04:07] programming language. Basically, it is

[04:09] used for scripting purposes for Windows

[04:11] machine.

[04:12] If you just write here batch

[04:15] scripting,

[04:17] you will get to know more about it. So,

[04:19] basically, if you want to do some kind

[04:20] of scripting stuff for operating

[04:22] systems, this language is for you.

[04:25] So, basically, it is using for

[04:27] increasing productivity and managing

[04:30] doing the repetitive task. So, you can

[04:32] just do it simple write a simple script.

[04:35] So,

[04:36] inside my editor, guys, I will make a

[04:38] simple script here, watermark

[04:41] .bat.

[04:43] This is extension here. You can see the

[04:45] If I write this the

[04:47] uh logo has changed to Windows logo.

[04:50] watermark.bat.

[04:52] So, this is the file that we have

[04:54] created. So, now we need to write this

[04:57] batch script. So, let me write it here.

[05:00] So FFmpeg

[05:03] -i

[05:04] for input. And then in double quotes, we

[05:07] will write this percentage sign

[05:10] double A.

[05:12] You don't need to understand this, but

[05:14] you need to just write this what I'm

[05:16] writing here. -i. And then you need to

[05:19] provide the logo destination. Wherever

[05:21] your logo is present, it is present in

[05:23] the same directory. You will see

[05:24] logo.png. So, I'm just writing it

[05:26] logo.png.

[05:28] And then -filter_complex.

[05:33] And then you need to provide the

[05:34] location overlay.

[05:37] So, basically, we are placing the logo

[05:39] in the video, so that's why we are using

[05:41] the overlay filter.

[05:43] And then you need to provide the X

[05:45] coordinate and the Y coordinate. So,

[05:47] this can be anything. I'm providing 20

[05:50] 20.

[05:51] So, this is the X coordinate and the Y

[05:53] coordinate.

[05:54] And after that, you just need to put

[05:56] preset.

[05:58] Just to process the videos faster, we

[06:00] will use ultrafast.

[06:03] And then output file name.

[06:06] This will be output

[06:08] /

[06:11] percentage percentage.

[06:14] And this special

[06:16] uh key here which is available, you need

[06:18] to press shift and the

[06:21] key which is below the escape key. And

[06:24] this will give give you the sign na.mp4.

[06:29] So, this is the script, guys, which you

[06:31] need to write here. So, this is now

[06:33] complete here.

[06:35] So,

[06:36] now we need to run this script here.

[06:39] So, before running this script, guys,

[06:40] you need to create that output folder

[06:42] that we have placed here. You can see

[06:44] output/.

[06:45] So, right here inside this directory,

[06:48] you need to create the output folder.

[06:51] So, create a new folder, give the name

[06:53] output.

[06:56] So, there are two ways by which you can

[06:58] run this file, Windows batch file.

[07:00] Either you can right-click it,

[07:01] double-click it.

[07:03] This will also work.

[07:05] If I run this,

[07:09] or you can do it like this, open cmd

[07:13] and then write

[07:14] watermark.

[07:17] bat.

[07:18] So, it is saying that no such file or

[07:20] directory.

[07:21] It is giving some error. Let me check.

[07:38] Uh let me copy this command once again,

[07:40] guys. This can

[07:42] Oh sorry.

[07:43] I have missed it.

[07:45] Uh this needs to do.

[07:48] I missed the misspelled the full

[07:50] command. So, go to the description of

[07:51] this live stream, guys.

[07:53] You need to write it fully. You can see.

[07:57] And here you need to put the extension.

[07:59] Uh I missed that extension here. For all

[08:02] the files video files present inside the

[08:04] root directory which have this

[08:05] extension, which is MP4,

[08:07] we need to perform this task, which is

[08:10] place this logo, which is logo.png.

[08:13] And overlay

[08:15] and preset, all these position need to

[08:18] be same. That's it.

[08:20] So, now we can run this.

[08:23] Go to We can also right-click this.

[08:26] So, now this is processing the first

[08:27] video. You will see that.

[08:30] If I open this output directory, it has

[08:33] created this file here, first file.

[08:36] Side by side, let me show you.

[08:39] So, basically, it will do it batch by

[08:42] batch. You can see this first file is

[08:44] ready. Now it is processing the second

[08:45] file.

[08:47] And in similar fashion, it will process

[08:50] all the files which are present and you

[08:53] can see that.

[08:54] It is so

[08:55] good in productivity. You don't need to

[08:58] waste your time in manually processing

[09:00] the videos. It will do it automatically

[09:01] for you. Automatically place the

[09:03] watermark image

[09:05] using this batch script.

[09:07] So, the batch script will be there

[09:09] inside in the description of the live

[09:11] stream, guys. So, go to the blog post

[09:13] and copy-paste this command. So, if I

[09:15] show you the video here, you will see

[09:17] that

[09:20] the watermark is placed here

[09:23] automatically

[09:24] at in this fixed location. So,

[09:27] you can take any watermark image and

[09:29] place it inside this video,

[09:31] multiple videos at once.

[09:33] So, it's a bulk watermark script that

[09:36] I'm giving you.

[09:37] So, you can now see this is processing

[09:41] has finished.

[09:43] You can see that.

[09:46] So, this was the tutorial, guys. I

[09:47] wanted to show you that how to insert

[09:50] watermark in multiple videos which are

[09:52] present in a single directory at once

[09:54] using the

[09:56] Thanks very much for watching this

[09:57] video, and I will be seeing you in the

[09:59] next tutorial.
