With latest nightly, I cannot add a png file to video

this is normal, without [v] Play filtered it shows source video

And, most importantly, when I save the video, it's still not there.

When you have the logo showing with [v] Play filtered, the saved video should also have the rendered logo.
You did play the newly saved video in a player (like vlc)?

describe your steps/workflow.

Just tested:

OK I finally got it to work. On this page, I read that I had to choose something other than "Copy" under "Video Output". I choose Mpeg4 AVC (x264), saved it as .mkv and voila.

If you had looked at the video, you would have known.
Applying filters (changing what you see in video) always require choosing something else then [Copy] in Video Output

[Copy] is there just to cut/append video without re-encoding (not changing what you see in frames).

It seems like the fact that one can't manipulate a video (apart from cutting at i-frames) in any way without reencoding is not obvious for everyone. Will look into disabling the "Filters" button and shortcut if the copy mode is selected.

Checked linux QT5 2.6.17:
Video Output: [Copy] = Filters is grayed out, not selectable
same on 2.6.15 app

Definitely not obvious!

And I apologize for missing it in the video. Thanks guys for your patience!

You're absolutely right, MainWindow::comboChanged function took care of that since ages. Nevertheless, I've pushed a small patch which tweaks enabling and disabling codec widget controls a bit.
