Using VirtualDub - Removing Logos

[South]

do you have the video on your hard disk?

Yes (avi)

[anonymez]

open the avi with vdub, go video-->filters, select the x-logo filter, point it to the logo mask you created, click the preview button, then "zero", adjust the X and Y values so as to position it over the logo

Do you understand why i can´t see anything in the prewiev-window?

means there's a problem with the logo image. make sure the vertical & horizontal res are even numbers.

usually the cause is an incomplete border around the image-- open up the image in an editing app, and make sure the outermost pixels in the image are all one colour. so use the eyedrop tool again to get the black colour and paint that colour over the edges

Maybe i´m having some problems understanding (english) sometimes.It isn´t my first language.

Do you mean for example that "84" width should be "85" and that "38" hight should be "40"?

[anonymez]

no, those numbers are fine

Maybe there is to much black between the letter "y" and the left side.
If i cut the image where the yellow line is?

I´ll try your advice about the incomplete border.

Now its time to create the second image you will need. For the second image we just need a good clean shot of the logo on a black background. In the VirtualDub window, move the slider until you see a good image of the logo on a black background. Once you find one, click "Video", then click "Copy source frame to clipboard". (Screen Shot Below)

I got to this step with my video and when i tried to move the slider over i got the error message xvidcore.dll not found please help and i'm not sure if there is a part in my movie where the logo is on complete black for the second image because this is a big watermark http://img111.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn0940fg6.jpg<!-- m -->

Removing logos with virtual dub

Hello. I know this is an old thread, but it's the most recent thread I found with the search engine.

I'm using x-logo with VirtualDub. I find that I get varying quality with different scenes and am using multiple instances of the filter to get different results per scene.

But on some of these scenes I am getting a red blur where the lettering was. This was a white transparent logo. Transparent but verging on opaque in some areas.

I used a bitmap with a black background and just cropped around the white lettering.

Why would I be getting the color red?
