yikart Subtitle Removal
Removes hardcoded/burned-in subtitles from videos using OCR detection and AI inpainting.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Removing hardcoded subtitles from videos
- Cleaning up videos with burned-in text
- Preparing videos for re-subtitling
- Removing unwanted text overlays
- Cleaning videos for repurposing
How It Works
- OCR Detection: AI detects subtitle regions using optical character recognition
- Region Masking: Identifies areas containing text
- AI Inpainting: Fills removed areas with reconstructed background content
- Output Generation: Produces clean video without subtitles

prompt: "Remove all hardcoded subtitles from this video"
multiInputs: ["video_with_subtitles.mp4"]
Example 2: Clean Video for Re-subtitling
User request: "I want to add my own subtitles, please remove the existing ones"

multiInputs: ["video_with_text.mp4"]
Important Notes
- Uses OCR to detect subtitle regions automatically
- AI inpainting fills removed areas naturally
- Works best with subtitles on solid or simple backgrounds
- Complex backgrounds may have some artifacts
- Maximum wait time is 20 minutes
- Processing time: ~10 minutes per 1-minute video
