Tiktok watermark #140

Hello and thank you for this great tool. I searched before asking the question, but I didn't find anything, so I'm asking: What do I have to do to get the Tiktok videos without the watermark?

I don't know anything about Tiktok, but I imagine the watermark (Tiktok logo) is baked into the video when the video is uploaded, so there's no way to download a video without it. Theoretically, maybe they keep a pristine version on the servers that you could download somehow, but I doubt it. If you searched for this and didn't find anything, it's probably because there's nothing to find.

Either way, that's all I can tell you about it. In other words, I don't know, but I'm skeptical that it's possible. It might be possible to set up a process to automatically remove the watermark after you've downloaded the video (for example with https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#delogo), but I've never done anything like that myself.
