How can I remove text from video without blur?
There are many open-source programs available for Windows, and Olive Video Editor is one such open-source video editor. It offers a manual masking method for remove text from video. You can use blur and mask filters to cover up unwanted text on the screen, but all adjustments must be made manually.
How to Remove Text from Video
Step 1: Launch the software.
Step 2: Import the target video file into the project.
Step 3: Apply a mask filter or blur filter to the video clip.
Step 4: Adjust the mask area so that it completely covers the region containing the text.
Finally, preview the edited video and export the final video.
Manual filtering is a viable method for removing text and is suitable for simple clips containing static text. You can therefore test the software as open-source, offline software; however, please note that for moving text, it may be necessary to adjust the mask frame by frame, which can be time-consuming.
Pros:
- Open source
- No watermark when exporting
- Supports offline use; no internet connection required
Cons:
- No built-in AI auto-tracking feature
- Requires tedious manual adjustments for moving text
- Compared to AI removal tools, the mask overlay effect is less natural
