How to Batch Remove Watermarks from 100+ AI Videos (2025 Guide)

Dealing with dozens (or hundreds) of AI-generated videos that all have watermarks? It’s a common pain if you repurpose content for social media, ad creatives, or client deliverables. Removing them one by one is time-consuming and error-prone. If you need to get clean, professional results at scale, you’re looking for a batch workflow that’s fast, reliable, and private.

In this 2025 guide, I’ll walk you through a practical, real-world approach to batch watermark removal that works with 100+ videos today. You’ll learn the step-by-step workflow, the tools to automate it safely, and the mistakes to avoid so you can ship faster without sacrificing quality.

Why Watermarks Stick (and Why Manual Removal Breaks at Scale)

AI video platforms like Sora, Veo, Runway, Pika, and KlingAI place visible watermarks in the frames to identify their content. These marks are often semi-transparent, vary in size, or sit in a corner. If you remove them manually, you’ll run into three problems:

  • Inconsistent frames: The watermark may appear, disappear, or change shape across time.
  • Quality loss: Basic inpainting can blur textures, color bands, or edges.
  • Slow turnaround: Clicking, tracking, and correcting for each clip adds minutes per video.

Batch processing solves this by standardizing the workflow across your entire library and keeping the output consistent.


The 2025 Workflow: Safe, Automated, and Repeatable

Before diving in, let’s set clear expectations. EraseVideo is a local, high-quality watermarking remover for Mac that automatically detects platform watermarks and repairs frames without manual tracking. It runs entirely on your device to protect privacy and preserves original resolution, frame rate, and audio. However, it currently processes one video at a time and cannot pause/resume a run.

The good news: you can still remove watermarks from 100+ videos efficiently by combining EraseVideo with macOS automation. The workflow below keeps everything organized, fast, and consistent.

What You’ll Need

  • Mac (macOS 12+ recommended)
  • EraseVideo installed (get a free trial)
  • A clean desktop or dedicated folder for processing
  • Optional: Hazel (for rules-based automation) or Shortcuts/Automator (for quick actions)

Step 1: Set Up Your Folder Structure

Create three folders and keep the names simple:

  • 1_to_process (videos waiting to be cleaned)
  • 2_processing (videos currently in EraseVideo)
  • 3_done (clean exports)

This structure makes scanning and progress tracking trivial, even with hundreds of files.

Step 2: Drag-and-Drop, Then Press Start

For each video:

  1. Drop it into EraseVideo.
  2. It auto-detects the platform and watermark region—no manual boxes.
  3. Press Start. The AI repairs the frames and exports a clean file.
  4. Place the clean file in 3_done.

Pro tip: Name your inputs consistently and store outputs in 3_done. Consistency helps the automation layer know what’s new and what’s processed.

Step 3: Scale with a macOS Quick Action

If you want less clicking, build a Quick Action in Automator:

  • New Quick Action: receives Files or Folders in Finder.
  • Add “Run Shell Script”: echo "Dropped: $1" >> ~/Desktop/log_batch.txt.
  • Save as “EraseVideo — Add to Batch Log”.

Use this as a lightweight tracker that logs your drops without heavy scripting.

Step 4: Automate Folder Watching with Hazel (Optional)

Want true batch autopilot? Hazel can watch 1_to_process and move files into 2_processing, trigger a script, then move outputs to 3_done. Typical rules:

  • If a file lands in 1_to_process and is a video, move to 2_processing.
  • If a file with “_unmarked” appears in 2_processing, move to 3_done.

It’s simple, reliable, and keeps your pipeline visible.

Step 5: Export and Review

EraseVideo preserves your original video quality. Once in 3_done:

  • Spot-check 3–5 random frames per video for edge artifacts or banding.
  • Verify audio continuity if your project relies on sound.
  • Rename files if needed (e.g., client_name_campaign_v1_unmarked.mp4).

This minimal QA step ensures you catch edge cases before publishing.

Workflow overview: from raw videos to clean exports


Compare: EraseVideo vs Typical Online Tools

Most online watermark removers focus on images and small batches. EraseVideo is built for video on Mac, runs locally for privacy, and automates the hard part (detection and repair). Here’s how the landscape typically breaks down:

CapabilityEraseVideo (Mac, local)Most Online Tools
Platform detection (Sora, Veo, Runway, Pika, etc.)AutomaticVaries, often manual
Processing privacy100% local (no upload)Cloud-based (upload required)
Quality preservationKeeps resolution, frame rate, audioCan reduce quality; unpredictable
Manual tracking neededNoOften yes (boxes, keyframes)
Batch processingCombine with automationUsually image-only; limited video
Pause/resume during processingNoRare
PricingFree daily + subscription or one-timeSubscription-heavy

If you value privacy, quality, and speed, the local approach is worth it. The automation step (Step 3–4) gives you batch-like throughput without the privacy risk of uploading large video files.


Common Pitfalls When Scaling Up

  • Over-automation too soon: Automate logging before you automate processing. You want visibility.
  • Mixed file types: Stick to standard video formats to avoid unexpected errors.
  • Ignoring QA: Even fast pipelines need spot checks to prevent edge artifacts from slipping through.
  • No pause feature: Start small batches if you must step away; EraseVideo can’t pause mid-run.
  • Poor naming: Sloppy file names break scripts. Use simple, consistent conventions.

Pro Tips for 100+ Videos Without Headaches

  • Use a “daily cap” in your head: 20–50 videos/day keeps quality and focus high.
  • Group by source: Process Sora clips together, then Veo, then Runway. Consistency reduces surprises.
  • Tag outputs with source in the filename: sora_xxx_unmarked.mp4 helps audits later.
  • Monitor disk space: 4K files add up. Keep 3_done on a fast SSD for smoother exports.
  • Keep a text log: Even a simple list in Notes accelerates progress tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I remove watermarks from 100+ videos in one click? A: Not with a single button today. EraseVideo processes one video at a time. You can get batch-like throughput by using folder-based automation in macOS (Quick Actions, Hazel, or scripts). This is the recommended workflow for 2025.

Q: Will this work for Sora, Veo, Runway, Pika, KlingAI, TikTok, and others? A: Yes. EraseVideo is designed to detect watermarks from major AI video platforms and social networks. It auto-identifies the platform and repairs the frames accordingly.

Q: Is my video uploaded to the cloud? A: No. All processing is local on your Mac. Your files never leave your device, which is better for confidentiality and speed.

Q: What happens to quality? A: EraseVideo preserves the original resolution, frame rate, and audio track. Its AI inpainting keeps edges and textures natural, without introducing heavy blur or color banding.

Q: Can I pause if I need to stop mid-processing? A: No. The current release cannot pause/resume a run. Plan small sessions or start batches when you can let them complete.

Q: Are there image tools that help with batch workflows? A: Yes. Unwatermark.ai and VisualGPT offer image-focused batch features. They’re useful for thumbnails or stills but don’t apply to video. Keep your video pipeline separate for best results.


Summary

If you need to remove watermarks from 100+ AI videos in 2025, the best approach is a hybrid: use EraseVideo for high-quality, private, automatic detection and repair, and layer macOS automation around it for scale. This workflow keeps your files safe, maintains quality, and minimizes manual work—so you can clean large libraries without burning out.
