manta Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 well I guess the laugh is going to be on him, unless he can do what they think he can... Anyway use after effects, put a new layer on top, with your name, and play with the opacity untill its not too distracting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenoe12 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 you can use password-enabled codecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodoros Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Goodmorning from GR, I had the same problem. The solution I found is the Watermark Factory. (http://www.watermarkfactory.com) It is user friendly and cheap. I don't know if somebody can erase the watermark through picture editing software. If it's possible let him do it. Since you are talking about video, let him try erasing watermarks for 3000-4500 pics. You should try it. Always glad to help a LS user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambros Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I would strongly suggest invading your "friend"'s office and destroying all his hardware!!! That would teach him a lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 that is really shady. there are other ways of looking at it. a friend told me this one time. be proud. it sucks to have your work stolen, but hey, someone liked your work enough to want to steal it. but back to the picture at hand. what codec was the work compressed with. even if you watermark, a lot of codecs can be re-imported, and cropped. you loose quality, but it can be done. maybe consider windows media or flash quicktime. both have prevention measures to keep them from being edited once authored. they can be edited, but you have to go to great lengths of reverse engineering. but anyway, if you want to prove your point to this person, and his new firm... maybe consider submitting your resume, complete with a portfolio that includes the animation, a description of what the animation was used for, and a reference to your client. if the firm cares that he submitted false work, that should bring it to their attention. but maybe it is best just to learn from this, let the issue go wayside, and watermark with a protective codec.
