Unscreen

Unscreen removes video backgrounds automatically without green screens, powered by AI and integrated with Clipchamp.

Overview

Unscreen extends background removal to video: upload a clip and the AI removes the background frame by frame without any green screen. Made by the team behind remove.bg (Kaleido), it produces smooth, flicker-free results suitable for social media, presentations, and video production. The tool supports GIF and video formats with transparent output.

Unscreen integrates with Clipchamp (Microsoft’s video editor) for seamless workflows, and its Unscreen Pro product offers full HD output with clip combinations. For creators who don’t have studio setups, Unscreen makes professional video compositing accessible from a browser.

Video background removal is computationally hard — flicker, edge chatter, and temporal inconsistency plague naive approaches — and Unscreen’s temporal smoothing produces usable results from casual footage. The Clipchamp integration turns isolated subjects into finished composites quickly.
