Remove or swap out video backgrounds with a one-click green screen effect powered by AI. No physical green screen required. Descript is an all-in-one video editor that makes it easy to replace the background of your video and drop the subject onto a different image or video background.
Get started ->
Drag and drop the files you want to work with into a new Descript project to upload them. You can upload the video you want to apply the Green Screen effect to, as well as the video or image backgrounds you want to swap in. You can also find plenty of stock background options by clicking the Media icon.
Select a video for background removal, navigate to the properties panel, and click Effects > Green Screen. Descript will use AI to analyze your video and remove the background to keep only the human subject. Once the effect is finished processing, you can toggle it on or off in the same panel.
To add a new background, right-click the video or image layer you want to use as your background and select Send to back. Drag the foreground video with the Green Screen effect on top of your new background and adjust. When you’re finished, hit Publish and let your social media fans marvel at your background video editing skills.
Non-destructive background removal
Remove backgrounds as you edit your videos with Green Screen AI while keeping your original video intact. Switch back and forth between the original and transparent background at the flip of a switch.
Works on videos, GIFs, and images with a human subject
Green Screen works on videos, GIFs, and images as long as there's a clear human subject our AI can isolate. Apply Green Screen to whatever you want to unlock all kinds of creative possibilities.
Swap in video and image backgrounds from a built-in stock library
Descript includes hundreds of videos, video backgrounds, GIFs, and images you can use as your background or apply the Green Screen effect to and place them against a different backdrop.
