Remove objects from video.

Draw a box once.

A cable on the floor, a cup on the table, a sign in the corner. Box it once and we fill the area with background on every frame.

Removing an object from video, frame by frame

Draw an object box around the thing you want gone. Unlike a text box, an object box rebuilds everything inside it, so make it a little bigger than the object and include its shadow if there is one. The tool fills the area with background taken from the frames around it.

Static objects on a steady shot give the cleanest result, because the background behind them is visible in other frames or easy to continue. Your video is cut into roughly six-second segments rendered in parallel and crossfaded over 8 frames at the seams, so long clips come back without visible jumps.

Be realistic about moving objects. If something fast crosses the frame and the area behind it is never visible for long, the fill can leave a smear. HD (720p rebuild) helps with fine textures like grass, gravel or fabric. The free one-frame preview shows you the fill before you spend credits.

How to remove an object from video: props, cables and signs

Which objects come out cleanly?

Things that sit still in a steady shot: a cup left on the desk, a cable across the floor, a light stand at the edge of the frame, a small sign on a wall. The background behind them is either visible in other frames or simple to continue, like floor, wall or table top. Objects that touch your subject, such as a mic clipped to a shirt, are harder, because part of the person has to be rebuilt too.

How big should the box be?

An object box rebuilds everything inside it, so cover the object, its shadow, any reflection on a shiny floor and a small margin. Clipping the edge leaves a thin outline. A box much larger than needed has a cost too, because more real picture is replaced with an estimate. For a long cable or a leaning mic stand, draw two or three smaller boxes along it instead of one wide rectangle.

The object is only there for part of the clip. What then?

Each box can have its own start and end time, and you can use up to 24 boxes per video. If a prop is taken off the table halfway through a scene, end the box when it leaves. If a stand only appears in the second shot, start the box there. Frames outside those times are left as you shot them.

Standard or HD for objects?

Standard (480p rebuild, 1 credit per second) is fine for objects over plain walls, floors, sky or an out-of-focus background. Choose HD (720p rebuild, 3 credits per second) when the object sits over grass, gravel, carpet, brick or any fine texture the eye picks up. If only one shot is difficult, you can cut it out in your editor, render that part in HD and the rest in Standard.

03 · Under the hood

A minute of video, in parallel.

We cut your clip into six-second segments and clean them all at once. Neighbouring segments overlap by eight frames and are crossfaded, so nothing flickers at the seams. Then only the masked pixels are pasted back onto your original.

05 · FAQ

Before you upload.

How do I remove an object from a video?

Upload the clip, draw an object box around the thing you want removed, and check the free one-frame preview. If the fill looks right, render in Standard or HD.

Is this a free video object remover online?

The preview is free and needs no account. Rendering costs credits: 1 per second in Standard, 3 per second in HD. New accounts get 20 free credits, enough to try a short clip.

Can it remove an object that moves?

It can handle slow movement, but a fast object that hides the background for a long time can leave a smear. Steady footage of a still object gives the cleanest result.

What is the difference between a text box and an object box?

A text box rebuilds only the letters and their outline. An object box rebuilds everything inside the box. Use object boxes for props, clutter and anything that is not text.

Can I remove a microphone or boom that dips into the shot?

Yes, with an object box over the area where it appears, timed to the frames it is in. A boom over a plain ceiling or sky is usually easy. One that crosses a face or hair needs HD and can still look soft.

If I remove a sign, does the wall behind it go too?

The wall is rebuilt, not removed. An object box replaces everything inside it with a fill from the surrounding frames, so the wall continues where the sign was. Plain walls work well. Brick or tiles may need HD.

Make it never there.
