Frequently Asked Questions

How can I remove background from a video?

It’s easy with Descript. Using built-in AI, the app can automatically remove the original background from a video in minutes. From there, inserting a new background is as easy as uploading a new photo or video, control- or right-clicking, and selecting “Send to back.”  

Is there an app to remove background from a video?

Descript can remove image backgrounds or video backgrounds as easily as waving a magic wand. Just import your video and select “Green Screen.” If you used your own green screen during filming, Descript can handle that too: the Chroma Key tool can replace any color with a new background easily.

What is the name of the app that removes the background?

That app would be Descript. Using artificial intelligence, it automatically detects the background image or video that needs removal, then allows you to replace the background with anything you want. It’s kind of like a teleportation device for your video footage.
