TRY YOUR OWN VIDEO
Start with the clip you want to clean.
Choose a video with burned-in subtitles or on-screen text.
Why clean footage matters
Removing the text is only the first step. Getting the footage back is the point.
A useful shot can do more than one job when the old words are no longer baked into it.
Write new copy over the frame
Test another offer or angle on footage you already paid to create.
Send it to another market
Remove old captions before adding translated text and a localized voice.
Use it inside a bigger edit
Put clean close-ups and product shots into new ad variations.
What happens to the frame
A blur is obvious. A black box is worse.
Vibbit works to reconstruct the covered area from nearby visual information. The result depends on what the text covered and how much background is available.

Price tags and offers
Expired prices and claims that should not travel into the next campaign.
How it works
How to remove burned-in subtitles from a video.
Clean the original once, then make the next version from footage that is ready for new words.
Upload the clip
Choose footage you own and mark the text or overlay to remove.
Rebuild the covered area
The tool fills the space using visual context from the surrounding frames.
Create the next version
Download the cleaned result or continue editing it in your workspace.
Before you upload
Know where a clean result gets harder.
The amount of visible background matters. Review the cleaned clip before you use it in an ad.
Busy, moving backgrounds
Fine detail behind text can leave a soft patch after reconstruction.
Text across the subject
If words cover a face or product, the missing detail must be inferred.
Very large overlays
A frame covered by a title card may not have enough context to rebuild.
Footage rights
Removing a watermark does not give you rights to someone else’s video.
Practical questions
Subtitle removal questions, answered.
Can I remove subtitles that cannot be switched off?+
Yes, the tool is designed for burned-in subtitles that are part of the video image. It reconstructs the area they cover. If your subtitles are a separate track or SRT file, disable that track in your editor instead; the original image does not need reconstruction.
Will it just blur the text?+
The tool aims to reconstruct the covered area. Simple backgrounds are easier; detailed or moving backgrounds can still show artifacts.
Can I use the cleaned clip in another language?+
Yes. A clean frame gives you space for new captions. Pair it with video translation when the voice and spoken message also need to change.
Can I process a lot of clips?+
You can use the workflow across a library of owned footage. Check the current workspace limits before planning a large batch.
Can I remove a watermark and repost someone else’s video?+
Removing a mark does not change ownership or usage rights. Use this workflow on footage you own or have permission to edit and publish.
What would you like to create next?
The footage was fine. The old text was in the way.
Clean one clip and give it another life with your next message.
