Remove the background

Ask Montage to cut you out of your background, with no green screen, and to put any video, picture or colour behind you.

Remove it, step by step

Open your video in your browser and keep it open.
In Ask, say who to keep and what goes behind: « Remove the background behind me and put the office picture there ».
Montage works on your own computer’s graphics card, shot by shot. This can take a while on a long video.
Watch it, then swap what is behind you by asking.

Need	Why
Your video open in a browser window	The cut-out is made in that window. Close it and the work stops.
A browser that can use your graphics card	The cut-out runs on your graphics card.
Up to 10 minutes per run	One run of the work stops after 10 minutes.

What Montage makes is kept with the video and comes with the export. It does not show on your Media page.

Do I need a green screen?

No. Say who to keep, in plain words: « keep the woman in the red jacket ».

Can I put a video behind me?

Yes. Add it with + then Add footage, and ask for it behind you.
