What`s new in 3.0 beta2?


  • Fixed bug with "upside-down detection areas"(Thanks for your feedback!)
  • Fixed minor bugs with highly compressed video
  • New processing mode - single pass, no temporary files. Filter became more user-friendly


What`s new in 3.0 beta?


  • New detection algorithm - works up to 2 times faster with less memory usage and better quality
  • Improved removing algorithm


Main filter ideas:


  • Static subtitles - text doesn`t move for some time
  • 2-Pass or single-pass mode - Detection and removing
  • Possibility of external mask editing
  • Two subtitle removing methods
  • Blur (Spatial extrapolation)
  • Motion compensation for correct subtitle area filling (Effect of objects "crawling" over the subtitles)
