Remove Video Watermark with CapCut
CapCut is a complete free video editor tool for Android and iOS developed by ByteDance. If you don’t know ByteDance, the famous video-sharing focused social networking service, TikTok, owned by ByteDance.
I really love this app because it is really powerful. Previously, I have written a post about removing video background with CapCut. You can also use it to remove watermark from any video. For detailed steps, you can refer to the video.
CapCut does not specifically provide a feature to remove watermark, but there are 3 approaches that you can try.
To remove TikTok kind of of watermark, you can take two screenshots, one when the logo watermark is at the top left, and the other at the bottom right. Then overlay the screenshot on the video and add a mask to block the logo. This is quite perfect if the background is not moving.
To remove regular video watermark, you can overlay the same video to the watermarked video. Add the Blur Effect to the overlay video. Then add a mask to block the watermark. You may adjust the Blur percentage to achieve better results. If you take a close look, you can see the editing trace, but it is good enough for me.
Of course, you can simply add a Blur Effect on the watermark, which is the easiest approache. However, the result is not as good as the others. By the way, you can also use Capcut Editor online without downloading.
