These steps take you from a short source clip to a transparent layer you can check in your editor. 1. **Choose a useful excerpt** — Trim the moment you need to 120 seconds or less, then select the MP4, MOV or WebM. Keep the person fully in frame and clearly lit. Removing a background cannot recover hands or clothing cut off in the original shot. 2. **Compare the edge detail** — Start with Fast to try the clip. Choose Detailed edges when hair or clothing needs a closer look; it takes more resources and can still leave halos or gaps. Use the same excerpt when comparing the two modes. 3. **Check the downloaded layer** — Play the exported WebM through head turns and hand movements, and listen to the audio. In a compatible editor, place it above your screen recording or another colored layer to check the transparency before building the rest of your edit. ## Video background removal for people and products See how a video background remover fits a tutorial, product edit or fitness introduction. Each case pairs a different source with its actual export and explains what to check before using it. The source clips are AI-generated; the cutout masks have not been hand-retouched. [Portrait videos](https://cutoutup.com#video-workbench): Use portrait AI without a solid backdrop. Check hair, hands and moving edges. [Products and props](https://cutoutup.com/green-screen-remover): Use color keying with a solid backdrop distinct from the subject. General object removal in complex scenes is not supported. ### Keep your presenter and voice in a new scene Portrait AI · No green screen See a presenter speak, keep the voice through background removal, and move into a new scene. The finished video pairs the actual transparent export with a website capture and titles. Open the comparison to inspect the same presenter, or download the transparent WebM for your own edit. The presenter and supported speech are retained. Inspect the fine hair and shoulder outline over light and dark backgrounds; the preview and downloaded WebM use the actual Detailed edges output. AI-generated source · Detailed edges · 15.1 s · 1260 × 720 · 24 fps · English speech retained [Get the WebM](https://cutoutup.com/promos/cutoutup-intro-en/assets/cutoutup-intro-cutout.webm) · [Source & processing record](https://cutoutup.com/promos/cutoutup-intro-en/assets/cutoutup-intro.manifest.json) [Prepare a talking-head clip](https://cutoutup.com/help#quick-start) ### Turn a moving product into a finished ad Color key · Solid backdrop required Watch one bottle turn, tilt and travel across a finished product ad. The opening briefly reveals the green-screen source before the product moves into two graphic campaign settings. Music, short ad lines and the moving cutout make the product the focus. Compare the same source with its actual color-key export, or download the transparent WebM to build your own campaign. The actual export retains the cap, body and base through the turn. Fine colored edges remain in places; inspect the moving outline over your intended background. The finished ad adds motion, graphics and sound in an editor. AI-generated source · Color key · 15.1 s · 1260 × 720 · 24 fps · music retained [Get the WebM](https://cutoutup.com/promos/product-motion/assets/product-motion-cutout.webm) · [Source & processing record](https://cutoutup.com/promos/product-motion/assets/product-motion.manifest.json) [Key a solid backdrop around a product](https://cutoutup.com/green-screen-remover) ### Keep the laces and light sole as a sneaker turns Color key · Solid backdrop required A rotating shoe clip can show the upper, sole and laces in a short product introduction. This source has an unevenly lit green backdrop, a dark red upper and cream details, so a broad color selection can remove more than intended. Sample the actual green and start with a lower tolerance. Play the full turn over the background you plan to use, checking that the laces and sole remain visible as their lighting changes. The turning shoe, laces and sole remain visible, with fine colored edges along the sole. This green-backdrop example does not demonstrate automatic object removal from an ordinary desk scene.

Keep the full body inside the source frame and use portrait AI to separate it from the room. This vertical sample shows moving arms and knees, making it useful for checking the spaces between limbs as well as the outer outline. Leave room around the hands and shoes when arranging the downloaded layer, then watch the entire movement at the size your audience will see. Arms, knees and shoes remain visible through the movement. Light outlines and thin-edge gaps remain; inspect the whole clip, especially crossing limbs.

Yes. You can process 3 tasks per day for free without signing in, or 6 total per day with a free account. No watermark is added. Process one supported clip at a time: up to 2 GB and 120 seconds, with exports up to 720p / 30 fps. ### Can I remove background from video without a green screen? Yes. The portrait model detects the person, so you do not need to film against a green screen or select a background color. Start with a well-lit clip and a clearly visible person. Fast motion and fine hair can still leave imperfect edges. ### Can I remove the background from product videos? Use the green screen remover for objects filmed against a suitable solid-color backdrop. Select the background color, then adjust tolerance and edges. Similar colors on the object may also be removed. Products against a room, desk or other complex background are not supported by general object segmentation; portrait AI is for people. ### Can I remove a video background and keep the audio? Supported source audio is retained or converted to Opus in the transparent WebM. If this browser cannot preserve it, processing stops without creating a silent replacement. Clips with no source audio stay silent. ### Do I need an account, or upload my video? No account or media upload is required. Video, audio and frames stay in this browser; the website still serves pages and model files. Download your result before closing or refreshing the tab. ### Which files can I process? MP4, MOV or WebM with one video track and at most one audio track, up to 2 GB, 120 seconds and 4K pixel count. SDR H.264 and HEVC require native video decoding support; HDR / Dolby Vision is not supported. Local AAC audio compatibility does not add missing video APIs on older iOS. Current physical iPhone and Android coverage remains unverified. ### Why does the download use WebM? This tool exports transparent WebM with VP9 alpha and supported audio. Check that your editor reads this format. Transparent MP4 and ProRes exports are not currently available in the public tools. ### What if my editor shows a black background? A player can ignore the alpha channel. Place the clip over a colored layer in your target editor and inspect it. Our canvas preview decodes the actual exported file; editor compatibility is still being verified. ### Will hair and fast motion be perfect? No. Detailed edges can recover more hair and clothing detail, but both modes can leave gaps or halos around fine hair, motion, occlusion and difficult lighting. Preview several points in your own clip. ## Related tools - [Green screen remover](https://cutoutup.com/green-screen-remover) - [Change video background](https://cutoutup.com/change-video-background) - [Remove GIF background](https://cutoutup.com/remove-gif-background)
