If you want customized logos:

  • Copy your logo say mylogo.gif into C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX\mylogo.gif (For best results the logo should have a transparent background)
  • Copy this XML code into C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX\mylogo.xml (if you don't have AddOnTFX folder,create it.

<Param name="Description" value="Puts mylogo.gif in bottom right corner"/>

<Param name="LogoBitmapFilename" value="AddOnTFX\mylogo.gif"/>

</TitleDLL>

Note: you can change the path to log here :<Param name="LogoBitmapFilename" value="AddOnTFX\mylogo.gif"/>

  • Close and Restart Movie Maker
  • Add a title to the title overlay track of your project timeline using your customised MyLogo title - just put a space as the text.
  • Extend the title over the length of your movie.


You can adjust the position of the logo by modifying the LogoRect <Param name="LogoRect" value="0.8 0.8 0.2 0.2"/> Here 0.8 0.8 is the X,Y relative coordinates of the top left of the logo where 0 0 is the top left and 1 1 is the bottom right. 0.2 0.2 is the length in the X and Y direction.

One problem with this is that the logo is opaque - I'm not sure how to make it transparent.

If you had a watermark in a font then you could alter the transparency of the text using the Transparency slider in the title font and size window.

You can generate the above codes, with this site trugga
