LogoAway

Hey, I saw this plug-in for VirtualDub mentioned in the Guide for removing subtitles. But when I clicked the provided link, I got an error page. download.com found nothing on a search for "logoaway," and I'd rather not resort to Kazaa for software. I guess what I'm trying to say is...um... a little help? Please?

Have you already got the AMVapp and advancedAVS packs?

I either got it in them or from the link mentioned in zarxrax's guide... which doesn't appear to working at the moment

Hmm, must've come from that other guide then. It's not listed in the VirtualDub filters on that list, and I'm not finding it after downloading and installing it. Guess I'll look into other methods. Thanks, though.

Aha! I know what I can do.
I was gonna just edit them out in Photoshop, frame by frame, but I wasn't sure how I'd get it to line up properly and still run smoothly, having to import each pic as an individual frame. I'll just make an animated gif file with them, set it to the same framerate as the video and voila! Cha-ching.

Too bad I'm feeling a bit too lethargic to do any work tonight.

I wouldn't suggest an animated gif... the quality would be crap or the filesize huge.

Don't make an animated gif! Gifs are limited to 256 colors. Just export each frame as a bmp image, then import them back into your editing program. Thats all there is too it.
Hopefully I'll get around to updating the guide sometime soon

Oh yeh...Google. Heh, that's what I get for going at it when I'm feeling drained. Thanks.

Logo Away is too strong for many case's
I wish they had one with varible covering transparantcies instead of washing-out that location - but what kind of a person, besides me, would ever have a purpose for this application? 8) hint-hint!

Yeh, even if you can get the subtitles blurred out and keep the rest of the picture moderately clear, the color of the blurred area is off from the rest of the picture.

Props to the guys that wrote that Guide, though. Once I got LogoAway, it was insanely easy to get the hang of, with the instructions y'all gave.
