Frequently Asked Questions
- Filming with a green screen makes it easy to remove the video background through chroma keying during the editing process. There are also video-editing tools that can be used to isolate the featured subject on-screen and manually erase the backdrop. However, AI-powered tools like the Video Background Remover (Pro) allow users to skip the learning curve and remove video backgrounds with just one click.
- With our video editor, you can easily remove and change the background of your video. To remove the background, simply click on your video and choose BG Remover on the toolbar. Once the background has been removed with one click, go to Uploads and choose from your previously uploaded files or upload a new image. Alternatively, explore our curated media library for high-quality stock images. Then, add it to your design template and click Position to modify the layers.
An AI-powered video background remover like the one in our online video editor uses machine-learning algorithms to detect the main subject in a video automatically and isolate it from the background. When you click on the video subject, this automated process creates a mask over it that is then recreated across all the frames in the video.
Once the subject in the foreground gets masked, the background becomes transparent. Changing the video background then becomes possible by layering a new image over where the old one used to be.
