Here’s how I remove the background of an object in a video without a green screen using CapCut:
- Open CapCut and start a new project.
- Select a video and tap on Add.
- While the video is selected in the timeline, go to the Cutout tool.
- Choose Customized Cutout.
- Select Brush.
- Reduce the brush size.
- Paint over the entire object.
- When you are done, tap on the check mark.
We now have the object floating in the black space. Now let’s add a new background:
- Tap the plus button.
- Select a new background and tap on Add.
- Select the object clip and choose Overlay.
- Drag the overlay under the new background.
