We cannot guarantee that people and backgrounds will be fully restored after removing a large solid caption box.
First, a comparison: one caption line without a background box

Licensed footage with demo text. The After clip is the actual, unretouched processing output. · ANTONI SHKRABA production
This clip has a white caption with a black outline near the bottom of the picture, with no solid box behind it. In the reviewed frames, the caption is removed without a conspicuous smeared patch across the clothing or background.
The caption stays in one position and covers a narrow area. Some of the original picture remains visible between the letters, and the selection does not reach the person’s face. These are more favorable conditions than a large opaque overlay.
Use this as a reference for ordinary captions. It does not show what to expect from a large solid caption box.
A limited result: the white box is gone, but the furniture is blurred

This five-second clip shows a banquet hall. We added a large, fully opaque white box with the words “Reserve your date” across the lower part of the picture. It covers chairs, table details and part of the floor.
The text and box are gone in the reviewed frames. A broad blurred band remains in their place: chair backs stretch into dark smears, while the floor and lighting details lose their edges. The After video is the actual processing output, with no manual retouching.
Why did the second clip turn out this way?
An opaque box hides the whole area, including the gaps between letters. Once it is removed, that entire area needs filling in. A mismatch in the shapes, arrangement or edges of the furniture is easy to notice.
The blue selection fully covers the box, with a small margin on each side. The poor result is not explained by a missed part of the caption. This example shows that a complete selection can still leave the covered picture visibly damaged.
This is a limitation of our current processing. Selecting the entire box defines what to remove; it does not guarantee that the hidden detail can be restored.
Decide whether the result would be usable for you
If the box covers a face, hands, product details or a large part of the picture, test a short excerpt containing those details before deciding to process the full video.
If that test still looks blurred or distorted, changing the selection or submitting it again may not improve it. If keeping the picture intact is essential, look for a version without captions. If you have the original editing project, disable the caption layer and export it again.
