Page-specific guidance
What to check for this text-removal job.
Why are burned-in captions difficult to erase?
Captions change every few seconds and often cover faces, hands, or detailed backgrounds. AI inpainting works frame by frame, using nearby color, texture, and motion to estimate the hidden background.
When is this workflow useful?
A common authorized use is preparing an owned master for a new language or a corrected caption track. Examples include open captions, translated dialogue, accessibility captions, and social-video caption lines.
What quality should you expect?
Small overlays on simple, slowly changing backgrounds are generally easier than large overlays across faces, hands, particles, reflections, or fast camera motion. Wipe AI outputs an H.264 MP4 up to 1080p. Test a short representative segment before spending credits on a long video.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, when burned-in captions are visible pixels in a video you own or may edit. Wipe AI reconstructs the selected region rather than simply blurring it.
A clean source preserves the real background. Inpainting must estimate what was hidden and can struggle with faces, hands, fine text, or fast motion.
Full-screen text detection is the recommended starting point. Preview a short section before processing the full clip.
No. Captions change every few seconds and often cover faces, hands, or detailed backgrounds. Results depend on how much of the frame is covered and how the background changes.

Better inputs, better outputs
Use the smallest useful area and time range.
Text removal estimates hidden pixels. Focused selections give the model more useful surrounding context.
Use the clean source when possibleA clean re-export from the original project preserves the actual pixels.
Test a difficult section firstCheck faces, hands, camera motion and scene changes before a long job.
