Remove the logo with the VLC media player

The VLC media player includes a feature that allows you to remove logos. In this article we explain which settings you have to make.

How to remove a logo with the VLC player

1. First, open the video in the VLC media player.
2. Then click on the "Tools"> "Effects and Filters" tab (shortcut [Ctrl] + [E]).
3. Select the "Video Effects" here and open the "Video" tab.
4. Now activate the "Logo removal". For the "mask" you need a PNG file the size of the logo. You can easily create these with Paint.NET, for example.
5. Then enter the file path in the "Mask" field and the value 99 for the "Top" and "Left" fields.
6. To ensure that the logo is completely removed, you usually have to readjust a little in the "Top" and "Bottom" fields.
