You have a timeline in Resolve and you can cut exactly at the frames you need.

Hitpaw is only a watermark remover.

I think you are pulling our legs. C'mon, really? Was it essentially using a digital paintbrush to paint over the subtitles using the surrounding colors?

I don't know how many subtitles had to be eliminated (half of 439?), but that sounds like it could be DAYS of work.

I think you just said "HAL, remove the subtitles from this video." ...

Yes, there were about 200 short video files to edit. Like this:

but that sounds like it could be DAYS of work.

I'm getting faster...

Finally, I found the movie without any hardburned subtitles.

Wow such great finds lately, ghost.

But seriously, how does it feel to replace a file that you had to work so long on?

Well, if I'd have done it about 2 days ago, my forehead would turn red with rage.

But I'm happy that I finally have the best version of this great movie.

I had the exact same question pillowbaker had, and I am impressed with ghost's choice of positive outlook.
