This project provides a Python tool to remove a watermark or logo from a video by inpainting the selected region and preserving the original audio.
Features
- Select the watermark area interactively using a simple GUI
- Remove watermark by inpainting that region frame-by-frame
- Preserve the original audio track in the final output video
- Compatible with MoviePy v2.0.0 and above
- Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- OpenCV
- MoviePy (installed from GitHub tag v2.0.0)
- NumPy
Install dependencies using:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
Step 1: Select watermark area
Run the GUI script to select the area containing the watermark/logo:
python select_area.py
- A window will open showing a frame from the video
- Drag with the mouse to select the watermark region
- Coordinates will be saved automatically to selected_area.txt
Step 2: Remove watermark
Run the main script to remove the watermark and save the output:
python remove_watermark.py
- The script will read selected_area.txt for coordinates
- It will process the video frames and remove the watermark
- The output video with audio will be saved in the output folder
