CleanVideoText removes text that is already part of the picture: hardcoded subtitles, open captions, handles and logos. Instead of a blur bar or a crop, it rebuilds the background and exports an MP4 with the original audio and frame size. Upload an MP4 or MOV, pick a 5–90 second segment (only that part is billed), then choose Auto or Select area. Stable backgrounds work best; test faces, hands and fast motion first. Free: 30 credits a month. Starter $19 one-time; Creator $49/month.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and pipeline can be assembled from off-the-shelf OCR and video inpainting models. Getting clean background reconstruction across varied footage is hard, though, and it needs GPU compute and real tuning.
What it would actually take: A real version would chain text detection (for example PaddleOCR or a similar model), temporal segmentation of the text region, and a video inpainting model such as ProPainter or STTN, with FFmpeg for encoding. The hard part is temporal consistency and quality on moving or complex backgrounds, which requires GPU inference and iterative tuning by someone with computer vision experience.
