Remove or swap out video backgrounds with a one-click green screen effect powered by AI—no physical green screen required. Descript is an all-in-one video editor that makes it easy to replace the background of your video and drop the subject onto a different image or video background.
If you’re in the market for a green screen background editor, look no further. With Descript, you can take care of any post-production edits you like and apply a virtual green screen (also known as blue screen) to add visual effects all in the same video editing software. Hollywood-worthy special effects are just a few taps of the keyboard away. If you’re already using a green screen, Descript also features a chroma key tool that can replace that green color (or any color) with the background image of your choice.
Drag and drop the files you want to work with into a new Descript project to upload them. You can upload the video you want to apply the Green Screen effect to, as well as the video or image backgrounds you want to swap in. You can also find plenty of stock background options by clicking the Media icon.
Select a video for background removal, navigate to the properties panel, and click Effects > Green Screen. Descript will use AI to analyze your video and remove the background to keep only the human subject. Once the effect is finished processing, you can toggle it on or off in the same panel.
To add a new background, right-click the video or image layer you want to use as your background and select Send to back. Drag the foreground video with the Green Screen effect on top of your new background and adjust. When you’re finished, hit Publish and let your social media fans marvel at your background video editing skills.

If you shot some footage on a green screen backdrop and promptly typed “how to change video background” into your browser, you’ve come to the right place. Descript is a superior green screen background editor. 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.”
Technically speaking, green screen is a handy post-production technique that lets you superimpose one photo or video stream over another, making it look like a single, seamless stream. Using a green screen on set — or a green screen tool in video editing software like Descript — is often cheaper than shooting on an elaborate set. It also makes it possible to set a scene in literally any location. In other words, through careful green screening, a scene shot in your garage can appear to take place inside the Taj Mahal’s garage without ever stepping on a plane.

The Green Screen AI effect in Descript works by using sophisticated algorithms that are designed to distinguish and separate the foreground subject (you) from the background, without a physical green screen. When you apply the Green Screen effect to your video, the AI goes into action, analyzing each frame to isolate the subject and make everything else transparent.
Yes, you can apply Green Screen to videos, images, and GIFs where you can easily identify the main human subject against the background.
Both green screen and blue screen are used for "chroma keying", a visual effects technique where a specific color (usually bright green or blue) in a video is replaced with a different background image or video. Green screens are more common because image sensors in digital video cameras are most sensitive to green. Blue screens are mostly reserved for when the subject has a lot of green. But with Descript you can get it done with no screen.
You can insert a background on a video after using Green Screen by simply changing the priority of your layers so your new background is behind your subject. You can do this by right-clicking and selecting Send to back.
