How to Add a Custom Watermark to Recorded Videos
Adding a watermark to videos recorded with oCam helps clearly indicate the source of the video and reduce the chance of unauthorized use by others. A watermark is a feature that inserts a specific image into the video, such as a logo, text, or icon, to identify the creator or ownership. This is effective for protecting the uniqueness of the video and promoting your brand.
To add a watermark in oCam, first click 'Tools' in the top menu of the oCam main window, then select 'Options'. When the Settings window opens, click 'Watermark' in the left menu to go to the watermark settings screen.
On the watermark settings screen, you can adjust several options. First, if you check 'Use Watermark', the selected image will be inserted as a watermark in the recorded video. You can choose the image to use as the watermark under 'Image Path', and PNG, JPG, and BMP formats are supported. PNG format in particular also supports images with an alpha channel (transparency), so you can use logos or images with transparent backgrounds.
The 'Opacity' setting adjusts the transparency of the watermark image. If the opacity is set to 100%, the watermark image will appear fully opaque. The lower the value, the more transparent the image becomes, allowing it to blend more naturally into the video. This lets you adjust the watermark so it does not interfere with the readability of the video.
The 'Position' setting determines where the watermark appears in the video. For example, you can choose the top left or bottom right so the watermark appears in the desired area of the screen. This allows you to place the watermark without covering the main content of the video.
For example, if you set a specific logo image as the watermark and start recording, that image will appear as a watermark at the selected position in the final video. A watermark added in this way makes the source of the video clear and helps viewers easily identify the creator.
If you want to create your own watermark image, search for "create watermark" on a search site to find various design tools and methods. For example, you can use graphic editing programs such as Photoshop or Canva to create a logo or text, or use an online watermark generator to easily create a distinctive watermark.
Using the watermark feature in oCam, you can give your videos a more professional and secure finish with just a few simple settings. Try creating your own unique videos with the right image and settings.

What to Do If the SecretFolder "Failed to ConnectToFilterDriver" Error Occurs
The SecretFolder program is not installing properly at the moment, so you will need to remove it manually in order to delete it completely. The steps are explained in detail below.
First, press the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard at the same time. A small input window called "Run" will then appear on the screen. Type "regedit" exactly into that window and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. The Registry Editor is a tool that can modify system settings, so please proceed carefully.
Once the Registry Editor is open, go to the following path in the tree on the left:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SecretFolder_is1
Find the "SecretFolder_is1" key at this location, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the key completely. This path is mainly used on 64-bit systems.
If you cannot find the "SecretFolder_is1" key in the path above, your system may be 32-bit, so please check the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SecretFolder_is1
At this location as well, find the "SecretFolder_is1" key, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove it. This will clean up the registry entries related to SecretFolder.
Once the registry work is complete, you will need to delete the folder related to SecretFolder from the file system. First, open File Explorer and go to the following path:
%programfiles(x86)%\SecretFolder
This is usually the default installation path on a 64-bit system. %programfiles(x86)% typically refers to C:\Program Files (x86), and there should be a folder named "SecretFolder" there. Find that folder, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the folder and all files inside it completely.
If you cannot find the "SecretFolder" folder in the path above, your system may be 32-bit, so please check the following path:
%programfiles%\SecretFolder
This path, %programfiles%, usually refers to C:\Program Files. Here as well, find the "SecretFolder" folder, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the folder and all of its contents.
Once you complete all of the steps, the registry entries and files related to the SecretFolder program will be completely removed from your system. If you run into any issues during the process or have trouble finding the path, check whether you entered the path correctly or whether you are running with administrator privileges. By following this process, you can manually remove SecretFolder cleanly.
