If you’ve spent any time inside JiMeng (即梦), you’ve probably noticed there are two distinct ways to generate videos with your likeness: AI Creation Mode and Camera Mode. Both are powerful, but they handle watermarks very differently—and that difference matters if you’re trying to repurpose your content cleanly.
Let’s break down exactly how each mode works, where the watermark shows up, and what you can actually do about it.
JiMeng (即梦) is ByteDance’s AI video generation app. Think of it as a creative sandbox where you can turn text prompts, images, or even a simple selfie into a short video clip.
The catch? Camera Mode adds a persistent watermark across the generated video. AI Creation Mode does not—at least not in the same way.
Here’s the practical reality:
| Feature | AI Creation Mode | Camera Mode (出镜模式) |
|--------|------------------|------------------------|
| Watermark on output | Minimal or none (platform logo only on some exports) | Full overlay watermark |
| Watermark location | Corner logo (easy to crop) | Center of frame, semi-transparent |
| Can you crop it out? | Often yes | No—it covers the subject’s face area |
| Export quality | Original | Original, but with watermark |
| Use case | Text-to-video, style transfer | “Talking head” style videos |
In Camera Mode, the watermark isn’t a polite corner logo. It’s a visible overlay that runs across the middle of your video, often right over your face or key content. That makes it nearly impossible to crop or blur without ruining the shot.
AI Creation Mode, on the other hand, typically only slaps a small JiMeng logo in the bottom-right corner. You can usually crop that out in a few seconds without losing much of the frame.
ByteDance designed Camera Mode specifically for user-generated content that looks like a real person. That’s valuable—and they want to keep it inside their ecosystem. The watermark acts as a brand lock. If you share that video on Douyin (抖音) or TikTok, the JiMeng watermark stays visible, driving viewers back to the original platform.
It’s the same logic behind watermarks on Douyin (抖音), TikTok, Kuaishou (快手), and Xiaohongshu (小红书). Platform watermarks are a form of attribution and traffic control.
But here’s the thing: if you’re a creator who paid for JiMeng’s generation credits, you own the output conceptually. You just can’t export it cleanly through the app itself. That’s where a dedicated removal tool comes in.
Because Camera Mode embeds the watermark into the video frame, you can’t just “turn it off” in settings. There’s no export option without it. And re-encoding the video (blurring, cropping, overlaying another image) degrades quality and looks unprofessional.
The actual solution is to extract the original source file that JiMeng stores on its servers. That source file—the clean, unwatermarked version—is still there. You just can’t access it through the app’s export button.
That’s exactly what OffWatermark does. It’s a web-based tool (no app, no download) that takes the share link from your JiMeng (即梦) Camera Mode video and fetches the original file directly from ByteDance’s CDN. No re-encoding. No quality loss. 100% original resolution.
The process is dead simple:
It works the same way for Douyin (抖音), TikTok (international), Kuaishou (快手), and Xiaohongshu (小红书). You paste the share link, and the server pulls the unwatermarked source. No fiddling with settings, no video editing software required.
If you’re using AI Creation Mode, you probably don’t need OffWatermark at all. The watermark is usually small and in the corner. You can crop it out in any basic editor.
But if you’re exporting from Camera Mode—or if you’ve downloaded a video from Douyin (抖音) or TikTok that has a platform watermark plastered over it—OffWatermark is the only reliable way to get a clean copy without re-encoding.
A quick note on naming: Dreamina is the international version of JiMeng. If you’re using Dreamina outside China, Camera Mode works the same way, and the watermark removal process is identical. Just copy the share link and paste it into OffWatermark.
| | AI Creation Mode | Camera Mode (出镜模式) |
|--|------------------|------------------------|
| Best for | Abstract, artistic, or prompt-based videos | Personal appearance videos, talking heads |
| Watermark severity | Low (corner logo) | High (center overlay) |
| DIY removal | Easy (crop) | Impossible without source extraction |
| OffWatermark needed? | Usually no | Yes |
| Output quality | Original | Original (after removal) |
If you’re generating videos in JiMeng (即梦) Camera Mode and want to use them outside the app—on your website, social media, or in a client project—you’ll hit the watermark wall. Don’t try to blur it, don’t crop it, and definitely don’t re-encode. Just extract the original source.
OffWatermark handles that extraction for JiMeng (即梦) Camera Mode, Douyin (抖音), TikTok, Kuaishou (快手), and Xiaohongshu (小红书) in one clean workflow. No app install, no quality loss, and no fake steps.
