Remove Watermark from Video via Premiere Pro (PC & Mac)

If the watermark covers the essential content of a video or the background of the watermark is way too much complicated, then removing the watermark from the video by cropping the frames or adding a picture/text overlay might severely affect the video. You might want to try out some paid video watermark removers. However, most of these tools can’t distinguish the video and the watermark well. That’s why we advise you to use one of the most expensive and powerful video editing software – Premiere Pro to remove watermark from video. With its useful masking and tracking features as well as the powerful median effect, you can perfectly delete the watermark from the video. Here’s how.

• Click New Project and hit OK. Click File and choose import to add the video that doesn’t need a watermark to Premiere. Drag it to the timeline.
• Go to the Effects tab, enter median on the search box. Click Median and drag it over the clip that was just added to the timeline.
• Go to the Effect Control tab and scroll down to find Median. Once you click the ellipse or rectangle shape, you would gain a selective box on the preview windows. Drag the border to reposition and resize so it can cover the watermark. Tips: you can use Pen tools to make a precise mask.
• Increase the Radium value until you get the desired result. This solution doesn’t seem to be complex. However, it may blast up the CPU and memory usage rate. It’s definitely a big challenge to your computer.
• Navigate to the top menu box and press File, click on Export > Media. This will lead you to the Export Settings panel. Hit Export after you choose the needed format and resolution.

Remove Watermark from Video via Davinci Resolve (PC & Mac & Linux)

If your video comes with moving watermarks or some large brand pictures in the center, then we suggest you try out DaVinci Resolve. It has an awesome object remover tool, supports motion tracking, and can adaptively blend the data from the surrounding pixels. Whether there are one or many moving watermarks on the center or the corners of the video, simply add masks around the watermarks, get the track going, hit the Object Removal tool, and DaVinci Resolve can do the rest for you. Let’s check the detailed steps.

• Go to the official site of DaVinci Resolve to get the install packages. Follow the shown instruction to have it installed on your computer.

• Drag the playhead to the start of the clip. Press the power window, and choose a shape to add to the clip. There I use the circle shape.
• Drag the corner of the chosen power windows shape so the inner shape is roughly the size of the watermark. Drag its center to cover the watermark in the frame.
• Tab Track and press Track forward. DaVinci Resolve starts to track forward. Note: make sure the play head is at the start of the clip.
• Hit Library, scroll down to find Object Removal, and click and drag it over the second node that we just created. Click on Scene Analysis to let DaVinci Resolve begin analyzing the selective frame and the around background, and removing the moving watermarks from the video.
