This may not directly answer your question or need for a tutorial on HTML Overlay…

Create a separate video track (the top most) for your logo.
Open File and bring in the SVG as you would a JPG or a PNG.
Drag source to the new video track.
Use the filter Size & Position to put the SVG where you want it.

With the Size & Position filter, you can use Keyframes on the Position.
Here is a video on Keyframes.

Shotcut Tutorial: Keyframes

If you’re intending on uploading to YouTube, you can add a watermark.
Go to Creator Studio, Channel, Branding.

Here are some recent posts dealing with Keyframes that you might want to go through.

Is there a way of applying easing to moving images?

Hi folks, Today I’m working on a new project with 18.08.01 (just downloaded it this morning). It’s a video presentation on the life of composer VIVALDI. It’s unfinished, but I’m sharing it below. My question is - I’d like the sliding images (produced by size and position keyframes) to move in a more classy way - ie starting off slowly, then moving in a linear speed, then slowing down before coming to rest. In HTML you can apply “easing” to an animation (ease-in, ease-out, or ease-in-out), or e…

Sauron's Video Title - great work!

@sauron Hi Sauron, I have been away from the forum for a while, and only just saw your excellent “Patagonia” video title in another thread (now closed): https://streamable.com/pw03h I was just wondering if you might agree to share the mlt file for this so I could have a look at how you did it? Especially interested in the rounded corners of the box. Did you use a transparent png for these? Also the feathered revealing lines look good. Great work! Jon

For WebVfx HTML Overlay a lot of work has been done in this category, and here are some posts:

WebVfx HTML Overlay Filters Update - Slideshows, Exploding Text

I have updated my WebVfx framework to version 1.1, which has some new features, namely Slideshow and Exploding Text. The webpage: www.elusien.co.uk/shotcut has been revamped and updated. The new Javascript file can be downloaded from there. The original posting has more information: another post that shows what can be achieved is:

Typewriter effect

@Anabel, @tin2tin1266027, @sauron, @jonray, I have modified my WebVfx framework to enable users to create a “typewriter effect” onto videos using the Overlay HTML feature (see: WebVfx HTML Overlay Filters Update - Slideshows, Exploding Text). This is version 1.7 of the framework. (www.elusien.co.uk/shotcut). The framework wraps every character in the relevant text inside a <span class=’_typewriter_’></span> element. If you CSS style this to have a border e.g. ._typewriter_ : {border: solid #f…

Adding the svg to a video using HTML overlay is easy. Sizing and positioning the svg needs to be done with html coding.

[jithin.aeth]

But when i add the svg file to my video it showing a black colour on the video, not the logo

[sauron]

You need to use the HTML overlay filter to add the svg to the video.

Or create two video tracks. Put the video on one track and the svg on the track above. use the size and position filter to position the svg.

[jithin.aeth]

Let me check! any way thanks for your Reply:)

[jithin.aeth]

But i can’t understand, how to add HTML overlay on the second video rack, if there is no video?

[sauron]

There are two ways of doing this.

1. Add the Overlay HTML filter to the video track. Then insert the image in the HTML overlay Or
2. Make two video tracks. Put video on bottom track. Put svg on track above it. Then size and position the svg with the S&P filter.

[jithin.aeth]

can i add svg file as same as of using png file? or need to go HTML overlay, and open file on this HTML overlay filter?

[Hudson555x]

[sauron]

You don’t need to use the Overlay HTML filter for svg, png, or jpg images as Hudson has illustrated.

You only need to use the Overlay HTML filter if you want to add animated svg to your video.
See this thread:

How to integrate an animated SVG please

I have seen this other thread so I know already that SC does not yet support animated SVG files. (Still nice, that we can pull static svg and bitmaps as assets.) But I would like to ask this community about any helpful tools which would convert my animated SVG files into video-clips which I can then pull into SC, as part of training videos. So any file-format which can be used by SC would be fine. Please do not write scripts for me, or waste your week-end. There are some existing nerd-answe…

Sometimes the SVG does not render properly when opened directly (not using HTML Overlay). The web engine has a different SVG renderer and might work better. In that case, the HTML editor in Shotcut has an Insert Image menu/toolbar item. You can just use that to insert the SVG.

[sauron]

Thanks for clarifying. I rarely use SVG, but it’s good to know that if it doesn’t render properly I can use the HTML overlay to fix it.
