Video Object Remover provides a browser-based workflow for removing unwanted people and objects from short clips. The process starts with a description and a selection preview, then moves into background reconstruction while retaining the original audio.

Start with a short, specific edit

A useful first attempt is a short segment with a clearly visible target. Choose the part of the video that needs editing, pick a frame where the object is easy to identify, and describe it in concrete terms.

For example, a prompt such as “the person in the red shirt on the left” gives the selection step a more specific target than “remove the distraction.” If there are several similar objects, the frame and wording matter together.

The interface lets you review the mask before confirming the removal. Check that the highlighted area covers the intended object and does not include part of the subject you want to keep. If the selection looks wrong, choose another frame or revise the description before processing.

The pipeline behind the preview

The object-removal workflow uses SAM3 for segmentation and ProPainter for video inpainting. These stages handle different parts of the task: identifying the target region across the clip, then reconstructing the content inside that region.

The selected-frame preview gives the user an early checkpoint. Motion, occlusion, and changes in visibility can still affect the result later in the clip, so reviewing the finished video remains useful.

After confirmation, processing runs as an asynchronous server-side job. The application uses React Router for the interface, Cloudflare Workflows for orchestration, and R2 for media storage. FFmpeg handles media preparation and audio recombination. Users can follow the job in the browser and download the completed clip without installing a desktop editor.

Keep expectations tied to the footage

Object removal works best when the target and the surrounding scene provide enough visual information for reconstruction. Large selections, fast movement, overlapping subjects, and detailed backgrounds can make the task harder.

If an object hides a background that is never visible elsewhere, the reconstructed area can contain artifacts. Output resolution can also be lower than the source. A short trial is a practical way to judge whether the footage suits the workflow before processing a longer segment.

Try the free tier

The free tier supports 3 successful clips per day, with clips up to 6 seconds, a watermark, and small-area selection limits. It can be used without creating an account. Paid object removal supports clips up to 50 seconds.

Supported uploads include MP4, MOV, WebM, and M4V, with files up to 100 MB. Start with footage you own or have permission to edit, select a short segment, review the mask, and inspect the result in motion.
