Introduction

Hey everyone, I'm Brian White. Welcome back to Video Zeus! On this channel, we make videos about making videos. If you're into that kind of stuff, please consider clicking that subscribe button. Now, let’s dive into the top three free ways to remove a video background without a green screen, ranked from good to best based on usability and convenience.

Number 3: Unscreen

Unscreen is a website that allows you to upload video clips and remove the video background without the need for a green screen. It's mostly free, but there's a catch: you can only remove the background on a five-second clip for free. For longer clips, you’ll need to use their paid service. This could be enough if you’re creating a meme or a short social video.

  1. Upload your video clip to Unscreen.
  2. Remove the background.
  3. Choose a background - you can opt for a video background, image background, or a color.
  4. Download - the output will be a GIF file with an Unscreen watermark.

To convert the GIF file into MOV or MP4, you can use a tool like Handbrake.

Number 2: Kapwing

Kapwing is another tool that offers a feature to remove video backgrounds without a green screen, available within their studio. It’s slightly less restrictive than Unscreen as it allows you to process videos up to seven minutes long for free.

  1. Sign up for a free Kapwing account - this removes the Kapwing watermark.
  2. Upload your video clip.
  3. Apply the 'Remove Background' effect.
  4. Choose a background - you can add video, photo, graphic, or a simple color.

Kapwing is ideal for social media videos, YouTube content, and memes but it’s not a professional option. Use it on a desktop or laptop for the best experience.

Number 1: CapCut

CapCut is a mobile video editing app available for both Android and iOS devices and works on phones and tablets. CapCut is completely free with no time limits or watermarks.

  1. Download CapCut and start a new project.
  2. Add your background.
  3. Add your video clip on top.
  4. Click ‘Remove Background’ - the app will process the clip, and the background will be removed.

The quality of background removal is comparable to Unscreen and Kapwing, but CapCut wins out due to its mobile accessibility and ease of use.
