JPEG format does not allow transparency. It does not include an alpha channel. So the answer is : there is no such thing as a transparent JPEG image. Transparency is possible using PNG, GIF or vector based formats, dunno if you can manage the watermark in those?

I have a transparent PNG Image. I want to add it as watermark for this video recording software. But the problem is, software requires jpeg image as a watermark. When I converted that image to JPEG(using Pixle Editor) it lost its transparency and does no look good in video.
How do I convert Tranparent PNG to Tranparent JPEG?
It doesnt matter how or which tool.

How to convert transparent PNG to transparent GIF?

  I may be wrong but I don't think jpeg images can have an alpha channel, which means no transparency.

You will need a photo editing/converting software, Im not sure how Pixle works and/or if you can add the watermark in a GIF file (doubt it).

Yes this recording s/w supports GIF, JPG, BMP. Pixlr doesnot support GIF. How about photoshop? But i dont know the steps.

In photoshop, use Save for web, choose GIF and transparent
