Batch Edit Videos?

1halfsingh · 24-02-09, 09:45 PM

Hi,

This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way I can batch edit a number of videos (~2500). Basically what I want to do is place a banner on the bottom of the video with my ref link, or maybe have a splash screen at the beginning of the videos with an ad for freebies & ref link etc, you know the type. I want to do the exact same thing to every video, so i'm hoping I can find an automated way of doing it. The problem is that I want to do this to 2500 videos and can't be arsed with doing them all individually.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to get on with this little project

Also, a completely unrelated question

, to which i've not been able to find an answer to on google. What's the maximum number of videos you can have on your youtube account?

once a few of the people who you "borrow" videos off report you, I guess the total will be ZERO

You can use this software to add watermarks (text or image) to videos. It does batch processing as well. Though it only edits videos in FLV format. The trial version puts a watermark on your videos, but if you have a look around...

If the videos aren't in FLV format, you can use this converter, it's free and pretty good in my opinion. Again, you can convert multiple videos in one go.

Well i've tested the waters with 45 videos, and waited over a month and it's not been too bad, a few been muted etc, but most are doing alright. Also, i'm going for the brute force method of just uploading as many videos as possible, and so I can afford for a good portion being blocked etc. The only problem is that you can only upload ten at a time, so this could be a bit of a mission getting them all up.

Converting them all could be a mission, but then again this will mean the videos get processed quicker on youtube (already in correct format). I'll have a look at the software. Cheers m8.

If too many get blocked, they will just ban your account - and I don't know youtube's policy about IP addresses, whether you could just create a new account or not... :/

gd luck anyways
