{"slug": "problems-with-duplication", "title": "Problems with duplication", "summary": "A developer released a new version of an AI video editing tool on Hugging Face that includes a 'disable-white-mask' option to help remove watermarks, though the feature is not guaranteed to work and may affect video quality. The tool is designed for editing videos using IC-LoRA, but the developer warns that large centered translucent watermarks may still remain unchanged due to model limitations.", "body_md": "–disable-white-mask\n\nOh… I missed that option… It doesn’t look like that option will magically solve everything, but for now I made one final version where it can be used just in case: [https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/ltx2.3-icedit-insight-rm](https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/ltx2.3-icedit-insight-rm)\n\nLLM-generated explanation:\n\nThe `disable-white-mask`\n\noption turns off the pipeline’s default white conditioning mask. In this workflow, that mask seems to help preserve the original video structure while applying the IC-LoRA edit. Turning it off may give the model more freedom to modify stubborn areas, so it might help when a centered translucent watermark is barely changing at all.\n\nHowever, this is not a guaranteed watermark-removal switch. It does not specifically detect the watermark, and it does not create a clean ground-truth background. It only changes how strongly the edit is constrained by the original video conditioning. So the expected benefit is: the watermark may change more visibly than before. The expected limitation is: if the model cannot infer a clean replacement for that region, the watermark may still remain, or only become partially blurred.\n\nThe trade-off is quality and stability. With `disable-white-mask`\n\nenabled, the model can also modify things we want to preserve, such as players, grass texture, field lines, jerseys, text, or camera-motion consistency. For that reason I added it as a last-try preset rather than the default.\n\nAlso, I do not have your exact test video, so I cannot reproduce your specific case on my side. I can only test similar examples or synthetic/HF examples. Based on the tests so far, this model does work on some simple watermark examples, but it does not look very promising for a large centered translucent sports-broadcast watermark like this. If the new last-try preset still leaves the watermark almost unchanged, then this is probably a model/task limitation rather than just a missing UI option.\n\nIf possible, please test only a short 25-frame clip first. If you can share a short sample clip or the generated probe/debug zip, I can look at the exact behavior more accurately.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/problems-with-duplication", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/problems-with-duplication/176137?page=3#post_55", "published_at": "2026-07-12 00:43:19+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-12 00:44:39.120652+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "computer-vision", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["John6666", "Hugging Face", "IC-LoRA"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/problems-with-duplication", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/problems-with-duplication.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/problems-with-duplication.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/problems-with-duplication.jsonld"}}
