Video background removal
Cut people and objects out of video without a green screen.
What it is
Video matting APIs separate the subject from the background in every frame, returning a transparent video or a mask. They work without a green screen and handle hair, motion blur and semi-transparent edges.
How pricing works
Billed per second or per minute of video, often tiered by resolution. We normalise to one minute of 1080p video at standard frame rate.
We compare everything in one unit: USD per minute of video.
Typical uses
- Replacing backgrounds in video calls and recordings
- Product and presenter videos for e-commerce
- Compositing and visual effects
- Stickers and overlays for social video
What to compare
- Edge quality on hair and motion blur
- Temporal stability (no edge flicker)
- Max resolution and length
- Processing speed
Watch out for
- Fast motion and busy backgrounds cause edge flicker; test with your own footage.
- Transparent output formats (WebM alpha, ProRes 4444) are not supported by every editor or browser.
