Add a background or replace your video’s background to create professional training materials

Add a background image or video to your footage, or replace your original background using VEED's one-click background remover. Upload your video, drag it on top of your chosen background on the timeline, and resize as needed. Works for training materials, marketing content, and green screen recordings

Ways you can add or change your video’s background:

Step 1

Use an image or video as a background

Upload an image and use it as a background for your video. Make sure to drag your video on top of the image on the Timeline and make the video smaller than the image. You can also use another video as background using this method.

Step 2

Remove and replace the original background

Use our video background remover and our Artificial Intelligence software will automatically edit out the background of your video. Just click on your video and click Remove Background. Replace it with an image or another video.

Step 3

Use a green screen

If you’ve recorded your video against a green screen background, you can easily use another image or video to replace the green screen. You can even add animations and effects!
