Background Remover

Upload a clip and get the subject back on its own, matted frame by frame, edges and all.

The result comes back as an mp4 with the background rendered flat black. mp4 carries no alpha channel, so key it out in your editor; a black plate keys cleanly against almost any subject.

How to strip a background from video

  1. 1

    Upload a clip

    One clear subject against a background you want gone. Under a minute, and the more separation between subject and background, the cleaner the edge.

  2. 2

    Let it matte every frame

    BEN2 runs the whole clip, so cost tracks length: a five-second clip is a fraction of a minute-long one.

  3. 3

    Key it in your editor

    You get an mp4 with a flat black background. Drop it over your footage and key the black out; there is no alpha channel in mp4 to carry transparency for you.

Video Background Remover: questions and answers

›How long can the video be?

Up to 60 seconds. The clip is matted frame by frame with BEN2, and the tool checks the length when you add the file.

›Do I get a transparent video?

No. The result is an MP4, and MP4 has no alpha channel, so the removed background comes back as flat black. Put the clip over your footage in your editor and key out the black; a solid black plate keys cleanly behind almost any subject.

›How much does it cost to remove a background from a video?

It is billed per second of your clip, so a 5 second clip costs a fraction of a minute-long one. The Remove background button shows the exact credit cost once the clip is in. Generating starts with a plan from $10 a month (500 credits a month).

›What video formats can I upload?

MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV files up to 200 MB. One clear subject with good separation from the background gives the cleanest edge.

›Can I remove the background from a video without a green screen?

Yes. The model finds the subject in each frame on its own, so no green screen or manual masking is needed. Busy backgrounds that share colours with the subject are the hardest case.
