Remove a Small On-Screen Object from Video
Markswipe can clean a small, localized on-screen mark or overlay that stays inside one fixed area. You manually draw a box around that region, and the same selected area is processed across the clip. This is regional erasing, not semantic object recognition: it is not designed to track or remove people, vehicles, or complex moving subjects. MP4 videos up to 60 seconds are supported.

Erase a Fixed On-Screen Region in the Editor
Upload your clip and box only a small mark that remains in one place. This mode does not identify or track moving subjects.
What fixed-region video erasing actually does
The eraser processes the coordinates you select on every frame. It can reconstruct a small static overlay inside that region, but it does not understand what the object is and does not follow it around the scene.
A consistent background gives the model more useful context. If a subject passes behind the box, the region contains fine moving detail or the unwanted object leaves the selected area, the result may show a patch or fail to remove the mark completely.
What the fixed-box validation actually proved
In a controlled fixed-corner test, a tight manual box removed a synthetic custom mark while preserving audio and output duration. Bright pixels belonging to the mark inside the measured target region fell from 2.80% to 0.00%. Automatic logo detection did not remove that custom mark, which is why Markswipe opens logo and watermark tasks in Boxes mode.
The complex crowd background retained a light reconstructed patch, so this is a capability boundary rather than a perfect-result claim. It is an internal validation result, not a customer case study. We do not publish the sample frame because its underlying stock-footage provenance is incomplete; judge your own clip from the full free preview.

Fixed-region video eraser questions
- Can I remove a person, vehicle, or moving subject?
- No. Markswipe does not identify or track semantic objects. The manual box processes one fixed region and is intended for small, localized marks or overlays that remain inside it.
- What can the fixed-region eraser handle?
- Small static logos, badges, text overlays, or similar on-screen marks confined to one area. Complex backgrounds and moving subjects are outside the verified capability.
- How many objects can I remove at once?
- Up to two boxed areas per video, all cleaned in a single pass.
- Will the audio be affected?
- No. Only the boxed visual areas are processed; the audio track passes through untouched.
