cvlc templates.mp4 --logo-file="logo.jpg" --logo-opacity 230 --logo-position=5 --logo-x=100 --logo-y=100 --play-and-exit --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264, acodec=mp3, sfilter=logo}:standard{access=file, dst=output.mp4}'
Please go to video path and open terminal in this path.
We try following command in terminal on GNU/Linux OS:
vlc input.mp4 --play-and-exit --sub-filter=marq --marq-marquee="YAZIMIZ" --marq-position=0 --marq-color=0xC0C0C0 --marq-size=64 --marq-timeout=0 --marq-opacity=200
We opened VLC with text added input.mp4 video.You can add any text with --marq-marquee parameter.
--marq-opacity parameter accepts numbers from 0 to 255; 0 is fully transparent and 255 is fully opaque.
You can set the position of text in video with --marq-position parameter (same as --logo-position):
You can set the color of text in video with --marq-color parameter.(You can check color codes with KColorChooser or similar programs)
You can set the time of text in video with --marq-timeout parameter.(4000 is 4 seconds)
You can use --marq-x parameter as horizontal position and --marq-y parameter as vertical position for setting place of the logo:
vlc input.mp4 --play-and-exit --sub-filter=marq --marq-marquee="YAZIMIZ" --marq-position=5 --marq-color=0x66CC99 --marq-size=64 --marq-timeout=4000 --marq-opacity=128 --marq-x=200 --marq-y=200
We can use this command for saving as output video with text:
cvlc input.mp4 --play-and-exit --marq-marquee="YAZIMIZ" --marq-position=0 --marq-color=0x0000FF --marq-size=60 --marq-timeout=0 --marq-opacity=200 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=H264, acodec=mp3, sfilter=marq}:std{access=file, mux=mp4, dst=output.mp4}"
Note: VLC preferences is important for this command, for example if video repeat option is open, record starts repeat (second video overrides first one and so on) after it finishes, therefore video repeat option must be close when you give this command.
Besides Video Filters open with Tools-Preferences-Select All-Sout Stream-Transcode musn't be selected.Our video link:
