Parameters and how to use
- video: (required): URL of the input video to process
- background_image: URL of the replacement background image
How to use
-
video – (required) Provide the URL of your input video. The video should clearly show the subject you want to keep in the foreground. Best results with videos where the subject is distinct from the background.
-
background_image – (optional) Provide the URL of an image to use as the new background. If omitted, the output will have a transparent background. The image will be automatically scaled and positioned to fit the video dimensions.
After you finish configuring the parameters, click Run, preview the result, and iterate if needed.

Pricing is based on video duration:
| Video Duration | Cost per run |

| 10 seconds | $0.10 |
Rate: $0.01 per second (minimum $0.05 for ≤5s, capped at 600s / $6.00).
Notes
Tips for best results:
- Use videos with clear subject-background separation for optimal edge detection
- Ensure adequate lighting to help the model distinguish the foreground subject
- For replacement backgrounds, use high-resolution images that match or exceed your video resolution
- Better to use a landscape video which the ratio is 16:9.
Use cases:
- Social Media Content – Create eye-catching videos with branded backgrounds
