How to Change Video Background in CapCut: A Complete Guide

Paul Roussel3 min read

If you’re using CapCut to edit your videos, you may have tried removing backgrounds using its built-in tools like the "Chroma Key" or "Remove Background" feature. While CapCut is excellent for many tasks, it does not do great jobs removing backgrounds for something else than a clean portrait. Instead, you can use VideoBGRemover to create a video with a green screen background, which you can then process in CapCut using the Chroma Key tool.

That’s where VideoBGRemover comes in. Our app provides high-quality background removal and replaces your video’s background with a green screen, ensuring clean results that are easy to edit further in CapCut. In this guide, we’ll explain how you can use VideoBGRemover to prepare your video and how to use CapCut’s Chroma Key to finalize your project.
