Page-specific guidance
What to check for this text-removal job.
Separate chat from other stream graphics
Identify whether alerts, donation messages, captions, and sponsor panels share the same area. Note when the chat fades out, changes opacity, or moves for a scene transition. Create independent selections when elements have different timing.
Test motion behind the panel
Gameplay, camera feeds, and animated scenes may move quickly behind a static chat box. Test a representative action sequence and inspect temporal stability, not just a single paused frame.
Build a cleaner recording workflow next time
Record a clean program feed and a separate stream feed with overlays. In OBS-style workflows, isolated source recording or a local clean output preserves editing flexibility.
Specific guidance
Details for this exact video-cleanup task.
Separate chat from other stream graphics
Identify whether alerts, donation messages, captions, and sponsor panels share the same area. Note when the chat fades out, changes opacity, or moves for a scene transition. Create independent selections when elements have different timing.
Include rounded corners, glow, translucent fill, and message animation. Leaving part of the composite behind creates flickering edges after processing.
Test motion behind the panel
Gameplay, camera feeds, and animated scenes may move quickly behind a static chat box. Test a representative action sequence and inspect temporal stability, not just a single paused frame.
When the chat permanently hides a minimap, score, UI text, or face, exact recovery is not possible. Consider a deliberate replacement panel instead of a synthetic scene that could be mistaken for original information.
Build a cleaner recording workflow next time
Record a clean program feed and a separate stream feed with overlays. In OBS-style workflows, isolated source recording or a local clean output preserves editing flexibility.
For an existing flattened archive, retain the original file, document the edit, and review privacy, platform, sponsorship, and disclosure requirements before republishing.
Frequently asked questions
Wipe AI can process the selected chat-panel region in an authorized recording. Select the full panel rather than each message.
A chat panel can be cleaned as part of a lawful privacy workflow, but preserve required records and do not alter evidence or misrepresent the original event.
Map their timing separately. A single large permanent mask may remove clean footage when an alert is absent.
No. Inpainting estimates plausible pixels from visible context; it cannot reveal content that was never recorded outside the overlay.

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.
Only edit authorized footageTechnical removal does not change copyright or attribution duties.
