What is a chroma key tool?
Chroma key is the professional term for "green screen removal."
It's a technique used in filmmaking where you:
- Film in front of a solid color background (usually green or blue)
- Use software to "key out" (remove) that specific color
- Replace it with a different background
Our chroma key tool includes:
- Color picker (select exact green/blue shade)
- Tolerance control (how similar colors are removed)
- Edge softness/feather
- Spill suppression (removes green color cast on subject)
- Real-time preview
You can access it:
- Upload video → Click "Chroma Key" in our editor
- Or try our online chroma key tool directly
No download or installation required - everything runs in your browser.
Why is my green screen removal showing edges or artifacts?
Common green screen problems and solutions:
Problem: Green edges or spill
- Cause: Green light reflecting on subject
- Solution: Use our AI automatic removal instead, or increase spill suppression in chroma key tool
Problem: Rough/jagged edges
- Cause: Insufficient lighting, wrinkled screen
- Solution: Try AI removal - it handles imperfect setups better than chroma key
Problem: Parts of subject disappearing
- Cause: Subject wearing green, or too high tolerance
- Solution: Lower chroma key tolerance, or use AI removal
Problem: Background not fully removed
- Cause: Uneven lighting, multiple green shades
- Solution: Use AI removal - it handles varied backgrounds better
Best solution: Upload your video and try both methods with our free preview. See which gives better results for your footage.
Can I add a green screen background after removing it?
Yes! This is actually very useful for video editing workflows.
Why add a green screen back?
If you're editing in software like CapCut, Canva, or mobile apps that have limited transparent video support, you can:
- Upload video to VideoBGRemover
- Remove original background with AI
- Export with a clean green screen background
- Import into CapCut/Canva
- Use their chroma key tool to remove the green
This gives you a perfect green screen even if you didn't film with one!
How to do it:
- After AI removal, choose "Green Screen" as background color
- Export the video
- Use in any editor that supports chroma key
See our CapCut tutorial for a complete walkthrough.

Is chroma key better than AI background removal?
Neither is universally "better" - it depends on your situation:
Chroma key is better when:
- ✅ You have a clean, evenly lit green screen
- ✅ You need absolute precision and control
- ✅ You're in a professional studio setup
- ✅ Subject has consistent distance from screen
AI removal is better when:
- ✅ You don't have a green screen at all
- ✅ Poor lighting or wrinkled screen
- ✅ Subject wearing green/similar colors
- ✅ Complex motion or hair details
- ✅ Mixed or changing backgrounds
- ✅ You want automatic results
Pro tip: If you HAVE a good green screen, AI removal can still give better results because it uses advanced AI to detect subject edges (hair, motion blur) rather than just color matching.
