How To Use AI To Remove Floating Watermark From Video?

AI can remove watermarks with surprising accuracy without lowering the video quality. Here's how you can leverage the power of AI in Filmora to remove moving watermarks from video:

• Step 1: Download and launch Filmora on your desktop, then import the video containing the watermark you want to remove. You can drag and drop the video file directly onto the program's interface.

• Step 2: Add the media file to the timeline editor. Click the AI Object Remover icon on the toolbar.

• Step 3: The AI Object Remover pop-up window will open. Use the Smart Brush tool to precisely define the area occupied by the moving watermark. The Eraser tool is also available to deselect some areas highlighted.

• Step 4: Click the Preview icon on the top right side of the window to see how the changes will be applied.

• Step 5: Click Remove on the pop-up window, then wait a few moments while Filmora removes the watermark while seamlessly filling in the background with matching details. If satisfied, export the final video without the watermark.

Part 2. Blur To Remove Floating Watermark From Video

Blurring is an easy way to remove a floating watermark from a video. You can use the mosaic blur effect in Filmora to make the watermark's details become less noticeable. It works best for watermarks that blend with the background. But you can also try this with small, simple, moving watermarks on videos.

Also, watermarks in videos move from frame to frame. This movement can be used to hide them with blurring. Blurring different areas in each frame allows you to cover the watermark without viewers noticing. As the video plays, the watermark and the blur shift, keeping it hidden. The surrounding frames without the watermark remain unaffected.

How To Add Mosaic and Blur Moving Watermark From a Video?

Filmora's motion tracking lets you attach effects to moving objects in your video. This is particularly useful when you want to blur a watermark, face, object, or logo throughout the clip without manually adjusting the blur throughout the entire video. In the same video clip, you can also use the Filmora motion tracking feature on multiple moving or floating watermarks.

Follow these steps to remove a floating watermark from a video using the blur effect with Filmora:

• Step 1: Import your video clip and place it on the timeline editor. Then, enable motion tracking in two ways:
• Click the Motion Trackingicon from the toolbar. If unavailable, add it from the Custom toolbar.

• Go to the Videotab in the right panel, then choose AI Enable the Motion Tracking toggle button.

• Step 2: A tracking box will appear on the video player. Adjust the size and position of the box to encompass the watermark you want to blur.
• Step 3: Click Motion Track on the right panel to start tracking the moving watermark in the video. Next, click OK on the dialogue box when prompted.

• Step 4: Go to Effects in the upper navigation pane, then in the Video Effects menu, select Basic. Add the Mosaic effect to the timeline editor. Make adjustments as needed.

• Step 5: Click the video clip on the timeline editor. Then, on the right panel, go to the Video tab and choose AI Tools. Nest, scroll down, and select Mosaic in the Link Element dropdown list.

• Step 6: Select the motion tracking box in the video player to open the Effects settings in the right panel.

Here, you can adjust the Mosaic type, Blur Amount, and Opacity.

• Mosaic type offers different blurring patterns.
• The Blur Amountcontrols the intensity of the blur.
• Opacitydetermines how much of the original object is shown through the blur.

• Step 7: Play your video to see the result. If you want to remove multiple moving watermarks from the video, select the video in the timeline editor. Then, choose Add a mosaic in the Link Element dropdown list.

Part 3. Crop To Remove Floating Watermark From Video

Removing a moving watermark from a video with cropping can be a good way if it appears in a specific location. You simply cut out that area of the frame. It works well for small watermarks, especially on the edges.

However, this method of removing a watermark from a video also comes with limitations. Cropping removes everything from the video frame that falls outside the new borders. It means you'll sacrifice some original video content with the watermark.

How To Remove Moving Watermark From Video by Cropping?

Cropping a video in Filmora is a good option as long as you're willing to accept some reduction in the video size. Here are the steps to crop a video to remove a floating watermark from the video:

• Step 1: Open Filmora on PC and create a new project. Click Import and choose the video clip with the watermark from the local storage. Drag and drop the video clip in the timeline editor.
• Step 2: Right-click on the video clip in the timeline. A menu will appear. Select Crop and Zoom from the menu options.

• Step 3: The Crop and Zoom pop-up window will show with the video preview. You'll see a rectangular box outlining the video frame. This is the crop area. Filmora offers preset aspect ratios like 16:9 (widescreen) or 9:16 (portrait). Choose the one that best suits your video if you want to maintain specific proportions, then click Apply.

Tip:

For faster video cropping, select the video in the Player section. Then, click and hold on any of the corners or sides of the rectangle. Drag to crop out the watermark and any other unwanted areas.

• Step 4: Click Play in the video preview window to see how your cropped video looks.
• Step 5: Continue with video editing or click Export in the top right corner of Filmora to save it on the device.

Part 4. The Problem With Traditional Watermark Removal Methods

While you might be tempted to take care of that unwanted watermark yourself, there are limitations to consider when dealing with floating watermarks. Here are some of the drawbacks of using traditional ways to remove a moving watermark from a video online or using video editing apps:

Cropping

Cropping a video seems like a straightforward solution, but it cuts away a part of your video along with the watermark. It can be bothersome if the watermark is close to the edges where crucial details might be.

Blurring

You can blur the watermark to make it less noticeable. It might work for static watermarks, but it can be distracting with a moving watermarkStep that constantly changes position.

Adding Text or Stickers

Adding text or stickers over the watermark might seem like a quick fix. But it often ends up looking messy and unprofessional. Also, these methods become useless with watermarks that move around the video. You'd have to constantly adjust the text or sticker throughout the video, making it tedious.

Conclusion

While blurring and cropping can work for simple watermarks, they fall short when dealing with moving watermarks. These methods can cut into your video or distort the background.

Fortunately, AI technology has made watermark removal from videos much easier. If you're looking for an easy and effective way to remove a moving watermark from a video, Filmora is a great option. It's simple to use, and the AI Object Remover will help you get professional-looking results without blurry.
