Video Background Remover: Veed AI Video-to-Video Backdrop Editing Playground & API | RunComfy

This tool is an AI-powered video background remover that automatically detects and isolates subjects from their surroundings. Unlike simple static filters, it maintains temporal consistency across frames to prevent flickering, delivering professional-grade results without the need for physical green screens.

Usage rights depend on the specific licensing terms associated with Veed models and RunComfy's commercial tiers. Generally, if you are on a commercial plan, you can use the output for business purposes. Please review the pricing page and Terms of Service to ensure your intended use complies with all regulations.

The model is optimized for standard HD video inputs (up to 1080p is recommended for best performance). While there is no strict hard limit on file size, extremely long videos should be split into shorter clips to avoid timeouts. The output resolution generally matches the source input aspect ratio.

Once you have tested the video background remover in our Playground and confirmed the settings (such as output_codec and refine_foreground_edges), you can switch to the "API" tab. From there, you can generate an API key and obtain the code snippets (Python/cURL) to integrate the model directly into your application.

To get a transparent background on the web, you must select vp9 as the output_codec. This generates a .webm file with an alpha channel. If you select h264, the video background remover will typically output a matted video, which offers better color fidelity but requires specific player support for transparency.

Processing time varies based on video length and resolution. For a typical short clip, the inference is rapid. However, keeping refine_foreground_edges enabled (which is recommended for quality) adds a secondary processing pass. If speed is your absolute priority over edge detail, consider checking our Fast model variant.
