How to edit MP4 video files

Step 1

Right after clicking “New project,” you can drag and drop your video files into your workstation. Descript works well with most formats, including AVI, WMV, MOV, and MKV.

Step 2

When you have your clips in place, you can start editing your video with the watermark. Add transitions, keyframe animations, and even other videos and audio.

Step 3

Descript is designed for editing with multiple layers, which is great for adding watermarks to your video. Like videos, you can drag and drop your image files into the workstation (Descript can work with BMP, GIF, JPEG, EXIF, PNG, and TIFF). From there, you can resize, change position and opacity, or even animate your logo to your specifications.

Step 4

Once you’re done, you can generate an embed link for your video with your own watermark or export it directly to your YouTube channel.

Customize your video with Descript

Effects

You can embellish your logo with shading or add text, shadow, and shapes, if for some reason you want to. Because it's a vector graphic, you can resize however you like without negotiating pixels and file size.

Titles & captions

It can be a hassle making sure that your logo has a transparent background when you upload it (the trick is to save it in PNG). But you don't need to open Photoshop for a simple, elegant text watermark. You can overlay text in a custom font anywhere on your video, all in-app. It only takes a few clicks.

Non-destructive

This process introduces a lot of files into the mix. It can be nerve-wracking knowing that someone may do irreparable damage to your image and video files. Relax. Descript’s video editing tools are non-destructive. Your files are all in the cloud, fresh as the day you uploaded them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a watermark on a video for?

Same as how a company will watermark photos to protect against copyright infringement and misrepresentation, a watermark on a YouTube video helps ensure the video’s provenance is apparent wherever it goes. A watermark also helps with branding — a subtle way to remind viewers who’s behind the video they’re watching.

What else can I overlay on a video?

If you want to learn more about video editing with Descript, you can look at the many video tutorials on our YouTube channel. Learn more about multitrack editing or how to get your watermark out there by creating social video clips.

Is adding a watermark to a video free?

You can create as many watermarks as you like with our free video editing app and three hours of video transcription. Just don't put your watermark on the bottom right because that's where we put ours — it’s on all video made with Free accounts.

With a subscription to the Creator package for $12/month, you can export videos with just your own watermark and 10 hours of transcription. With the Pro package for $24/month, you’ll get the same features with 30 hours of video transcription. Contact us to negotiate pricing for the Enterprise package, including a dedicated account representative, onboarding, and training.
