Use cases

Swap a foreign-language caption for your own

You found the perfect clip but it carries hardcoded subtitles in another language. Clear the burned-in band, then add a fresh caption track on Compose in the language you need. Starting from a clean plate means the new captions sit properly rather than stacking on top of old text.

Recover footage where only the subtitled cut survived

Sometimes the only copy left is the export that already has captions burned in. Rather than reshoot, strip the text and rebuild the picture underneath so you have a usable clean version again. From there you can re-edit, re-time, or recaption however the new cut needs.

Clean up auto-captions baked into a social clip

Short-form apps often bake auto-captions straight into the export. When you want to repost the clip with your own styling, clear the old text first so it does not clash with the new track. The result is a clean base you can caption to match your channel.

Remove a lower third or speaker label

A burned-in name strap or speaker label dates a clip and blocks reuse. Clear it and the footage behind rebuilds cleanly, so the same interview or talk can carry a new graphic. It keeps evergreen footage from looking tied to one event.

FAQs

How do I remove burned-in subtitles from a video?
Upload the clip and tell Morphic to clear the caption band. Because burned-in subtitles are baked into the picture, there is no track to switch off, so the model edits those frames and rebuilds the image behind the text. Once the band is clean you can add a fresh caption track on Compose.
Can it handle subtitles over moving footage?
It can, though a moving background is the harder case. Morphic fills the cleared band with motion that matches the rest of the frame, so the fix holds up at speed rather than freezing into a static patch. On the busiest shots you may rerun the pass or switch models to get the cleanest result.
Will there be a blurry strip where the text was?
The goal is a clean rebuild rather than a blur. The area under the caption is generated to match the surrounding picture, so you avoid the smeared bar that a manual blur or crop leaves. This is an honest repair, so a dense two-line caption over fine detail is more work than a short line over a plain background, and it can take a couple of passes.
Can I put new subtitles back afterwards?
Yes, and that is the usual flow. Once the burned-in text is gone, drop the clean clip on the timeline in Compose and add a caption track there, which you can restyle, retime, or translate freely. Starting from clean footage is what makes a tidy new caption possible.
What is the difference between this and turning subtitles off?
Soft subtitles are a separate track you can simply hide. Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture, so the only way to remove them is to repaint those pixels, which is what this tool does. If your file has a toggle for captions, you do not need to edit anything.
Do I need to sign up?
You can browse the examples first. To clean captions off your own footage you will need a free account, which takes under a minute to set up.
