# Subtitle Erase · Region

> **Roadmap / pending** — erase subtitles inside a user-drawn rectangle per frame. Box UI incomplete; Run raises `StageNotImplemented`.

</Frame>

## Intended purpose

**Subtitle Erase (Region)** inpaints a **fixed rectangle** (**region\_x/y/w/h**) to remove subs or logos. More control than Smart when placement varies slightly or you only target one corner.

**region\_**\* fields are set by in-node box UI (hidden on sockets). Roadmap also calls for per-frame region tweaks.

> ⚠️ **Current status**: no backend, incomplete UI. Run → `StageNotImplemented`. See [roadmap.md](https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/blob/main/docs/roadmap.md).

## When to use it (once shipped)

* Subs in a band but Smart fails
* Remove corner bug without touching main frame
* Manual fallback from Smart false positives

## Planned design

* **Stage** + snapshot; `COMFYTV_VIDEO` in/out.
* Pixel coords like **Video Crop**, but inpaint instead of discard.
* **Workaround**: **Video Crop** the subtitle band away.

## Types

| Type            | Notes        |
| --------------- | ------------ |
| `COMFYTV_VIDEO` | URL snapshot |

## Parameters

### video

Source (when implemented).

### region\_x / region\_y / region\_w / region\_h (hidden)

Box from panel UI, default 0.

## Outputs (when implemented)

| Output    | Type            |
| --------- | --------------- |
| **video** | `COMFYTV_VIDEO` |

## Step by step (today)

1. **Not available** — Run will fail.
2. Use **Video Crop** on subtitle band meanwhile.
3. Watch roadmap for region-selection UI.
