Title: Can't get the watermark to work
Post by: Lolli on August 28, 2015, 07:35:28 AM
I have ben trying for a while now to get the watermark to work without success.

I have read the instructions and saved 5 versions of the logo in all the different sizes, trying both PNG and TGA formats, but when I select 'watermark' from the menu and then 'use custom', it still shows the OTS logo.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you

Richie

Did you move the original content from the default folder (or copy it for backup to a new location) and then place your content in the original location folder with the exact same file name?

OK, so that didn't work.  As the original files have 'gone' can anyone please give me the exact filenames and whether you have used PNG or TGA files?

Thanks

Thanks Jeff.  Copied your directory into mine but still not working.  Very frustrating  :confused:

Did you overwrite the old files?
What resolution are you outputting?

I found it quite awkward to setup the first time I tried it.  If I recall, OtsAV only looks for the file when you start the video sub-system.  I wrote a post on when the feature was first announced - I'll do a search - it might help.

The post I wrote way back in April 2010 is in this thread: http://www.otsusers.com/forum/index.php?topic=12157.0.  Later in the thread I pointed out that "the flatten or merge bit always escapes my memory!  If you get that wrong, or choose Save, or leave RLE on, you get the Ots Labs default watermark or no custom titling" caught me out on my first few attempts.
