How to remove a video background without a green screen
No green screen needed: a model on your device finds the person in every frame and drops the rest. Then you choose what goes behind.
Steps
Open the video
Open the editor and press "Choose a file", or drop the video onto the drop area. Click the clip on the timeline to open its settings.
Turn on "Remove the background"
On the "Video" tab, open "Background" and turn on "Remove the background". The browser downloads the model when you switch it on; the model then runs on your device, and the video itself is never sent anywhere.
Choose what goes behind
Where the background was, the canvas now shows. For a plain colour, click "Canvas" in the left panel list, set "Background" to "Flat colour" and pick the colour next to "Colour". For a video behind the person, add it, drag it down onto the dashed row that says "Drop files here or click to add" so it gets its own row under the first, and drag it left until both start together.
Place the person
Click the person’s clip again. Under "Layout", use "Scale", "Horizontal" and "Vertical" to size and place them, or drag the clip on the preview.
Export
Press "Export" and pick MP4. The export cuts out the person frame by frame, the same as the preview. On the free plan exports go up to 1080p and 3 minutes, without a watermark.
Tips
- The model is made to find people. It works best with one person clearly in front of the camera.
- If you filmed in front of a green screen, use "Green screen" in the same place instead; it is made for exactly that backdrop.
- A background video with its own sound plays it too. Select it and turn its "Volume" down on the "Audio" tab if you only want the person heard.
