Adding a Watermark To a Video Via Shell

Recently I wanted to add a watermark to one of my videos. Obviously there are two possible ways of achieving this in Linux.

 
Sample Watermark


Via command line
avconv -i input.mpg -vf “movie=watermark.png [watermark];[in][watermark] overlay=0:0 [out]” -c:v mpeg2video -an output1.mpg 

Via Openshot (text)
