Step-by-step workflow
- Start with the highest-quality file and confirm you may edit the burned-in captions.
- Look for a clean source because use the clean source or disable the caption layer in the original editor when possible.
- Upload the video file to Wipe AI.
- Choose full-screen text detection.
- Preview a short section that includes motion and detailed background.
- Tighten the selected area if clean pixels are being changed, then process and download.
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.
Best alternative: Use the clean source or disable the caption layer in the original editor when possible.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.
Authorized use: Remove visible elements only from videos you own, license, or have permission to edit. Wipe AI does not grant rights to third-party footage or assets.
