When the subtitles are already burned into the picture
Hardcoded subtitles are pixels, so they cannot be edited or removed. What can be done is transcribing the speech and placing a new line where it does not fight the old one.
Translation happens after the timing is fixed, which is why the subtitles stay in sync.

What happens to your video
- Upload the file or paste a public link. Phone footage (HEVC/MOV) is read as it comes off the phone.
- The audio is transcribed first, with word-level timing, so every cue starts where speech starts.
- Each line is translated on its own. Timecodes are copied through and never rewritten.
- Download the SRT, or a copy of the video with the subtitles burned in at the original resolution.
Notes on the audio
- New subtitles are positioned above the existing line by default.
- A clean copy of the video is always the better input if you can get one.
- No attempt is made to erase the original pixels.

Questions
Can it remove the old subtitles?
No. Once burned in, they are part of the frame.
Will the two lines overlap?
They are stacked, not overlapped, but a busy frame can still look crowded.
