Change Your Video Background with AI
Describe where your video should take place, or attach a photo of the location. The AI rebuilds the scene behind your subject and adjusts the light to suit, while following your subject's movement and the camera. Your original stays as it was.
Powered by leading AI video models
Edit with the leading video models that read a clip as a reference, with no API keys, no setup and no switching tools.
A video background changer for any setting
The take is right, but the place isn't. Describe the setting you need, or attach a photo of it, and the AI rebuilds the scene around your subject, so footage shot in an ordinary room or street can move somewhere else.
Models that read video
Changing a background needs a model that can take your clip as a reference. Only those models appear here, so every option you pick can work from your footage.

One clip, many settings
Put the same workout on a beach, in a mountain meadow and in a bright studio. Each version saves as a new video next to your original.
Use a photo of the place you want
When the setting has to look like a specific place, show it instead of describing it. Attach a photo of the location together with your clip and ask for the swap: the AI builds the background from the photo and places your subject in it. Here, a selfie video filmed in a parking lot moved to the harbor in the reference photo. One generation can combine up to three clips and up to three audio tracks with your images.
Backgrounds you can change
Most background swaps fall into a few jobs. Each of these started as an ordinary clip and a one-line prompt.
For creators, marketers and video teams
Film anywhere, publish from anywhere
Where you can film isn't always where the video should look like it was filmed.
No studio booking
Record at home or at the office and put yourself on a clean set, a rooftop or a stage afterwards, without renting a studio or a location.
Localize one clip for many markets
Show the same presenter or product in a different city, season or setting for each market, all made from one original recording you already have.
Keep a consistent look across videos
Use the same described set or reference photo for every episode, so a series looks like one production even when it was filmed in different rooms.
How to change a video background
Three steps from the clip you have to the setting you want.
1. Open your video
Open Create video and click a video you've made, or upload your clip. If you have a photo of the location, attach it as well.
2. Describe the new background
Type where it should happen: "by a window overlooking the sea," "on a rooftop at sunset." Mention the light for a closer match.
3. Pick a model and generate
Choose from the available models that support videos as references and generate. The new version arrives as a new clip, and your original stays as it was.
Creators
Give your videos a better set
A dorm room, a cluttered office or a hotel corner doesn't have to be what your audience sees. Describe the set you want, like a bookshop, a bright studio or a cafe, and the AI places you in it while following your gestures, expressions and timing.
Talking-head clips with a steady camera give the most natural results. Keep your hands and hair clearly separate from the background where you can.
Useful for:
- YouTube and TikTok creators
- Course and coaching videos
- Podcasts filmed on camera
- Company updates and announcements.
Products
Change the background of product videos
One product clip shot on a plain desk can become a cafe table, a bathroom shelf or a forest floor. Describe the setting and the AI builds it around the product while following its movement and the camera.
Name the surface, the light and a few props ("a sunlit cafe table with croissants in soft focus") so the product sits naturally in the new scene.
Product backgrounds help:
- E-commerce listings and ads
- Seasonal campaigns from one shoot
- Social posts for different audiences
- Marketplace videos with a consistent look.
Fashion and lifestyle
Move a fashion shoot to a new location
A walk in a grey studio can become a walk along a seaside boardwalk at golden hour. The AI follows the model's stride and the camera move while it builds the new location around them.
Location swaps work well for:
- Lookbooks and collection videos
- Fashion ads tested in several settings
- Brand content for different seasons
- Social clips made from studio footage.
Fabric, hair and fast movement are where background swaps work hardest. If an edge looks soft, rerun with a clearer description of the subject and the new light.
Example prompts to try
Describe the new setting in plain words. Each tab shows one prompt and the clip it made. Copy it, change the details, and run it on your own footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Add the clip as a video reference in Create video, describe the new setting or attach a photo of it, and generate. It's popular with social media teams giving creators a cleaner set, e-commerce teams placing products in new scenes, and marketers adapting one clip for different markets.
You don't need editing skills. If you can describe the place, you can move your video there.
Short clips with a steady camera and a subject that is large in the shot. Each clip can be up to 15 seconds long, or 30 seconds on some models, so single shots, talking-head clips and product demos suit it best.
Good light on your subject and clear edges around hair and hands usually give the cleanest result. For longer footage, change the background shot by shot with the same prompt or reference photo.
Yes. Attach the photo as an image reference with your clip and ask for the swap. One generation can combine up to three clips and up to three audio tracks with your images. Each clip can be up to 15 seconds long, or 30 seconds on some models.
It's adjusted to suit the new scene, so a subject moved from an office to a sunset gets warmer light. The result is a new video generated from your clip, so it follows your shot and timing closely rather than copying every pixel.
Your original stays in your library as it was, so you can try several settings and compare them.
Not with video. The result is always a full video with a new background, not a cutout. For still images, the background remover gives you a transparent PNG that you can place into any scene.
Film it anywhere. Set it anywhere.
Open your clip, describe the setting or attach a photo of it, and get a new version that follows your shot. Your original stays as it was, so you can try one place after another.
