Subtitle Eraser (Video Text Removal) API
subtitle-eraseSubtitle Eraser removes hardcoded (burned-in) subtitles, on-screen text, watermarks and corner logos from a video and rebuilds a clean background where they used to be. It uses high-frame-rate OCR plus AIGC inpainting (with temporal, multi-frame consistency) to repair each frame, so the result blends in almost invisibly. There are two ways to say what should go. In automatic mode it finds the text for you — choose subtitle mode (default, caption-style subtitles) or text mode (any on-screen text). In region mode you draw the boxes yourself and it works on those instead, which is how you remove a watermark, a station bug or a signature that OCR would never classify as a subtitle. Draw region boxes generously, roughly 30-50% larger than the mark itself: a box cropped tight to the mark often returns the video unchanged, while the same mark with margin around it is removed cleanly. Both modes also accept time ranges, so you can clean only part of the timeline. Output resolution matches the input (capped at 1080p). Billed at $0.015 per second of the video.
