Bria's Video Editing API provides builders with powerful tools for programmatically transforming video content while preserving original quality. It supports object removal, background removal and replacement, resolution upscaling up to 8K, segmentation masking, and green-screen output — covering both finite-file processing and real-time streaming workflows for commercial use.

Core Capabilities

The API is organized into two functional groups:

• Editing Endpoints — Modify existing video content. Includes Eraser (object removal with background reconstruction), Remove Background, Replace Background, Green Screen (chroma-key output for downstream compositing), and Increase Resolution (up to 8K).
• Masking Endpoints — Generate segmentation masks that drive other operations. Supports Mask by Prompt (text-driven), Mask by Key Points (coordinate-driven), and Foreground Mask.

Choose Your Transport

Select the integration model that fits your workload:

• REST API (Async, Recommended): Standard HTTP request/response. Submit a finite video, receive a request_id and status_url, and poll until the job completes. Best for batch processing and any workflow where seconds-to-minutes of latency is acceptable. Supports the full set of editing capabilities including audio preservation and codec/container selection.
• Streaming API (WebSocket): Persistent bidirectional connection for frame-by-frame processing with sub-second latency. Currently available for Streaming Background Removal. Best for live feeds, interactive UIs, and continuous-stream sources where real-time output matters more than end-to-end editing flexibility.

Asynchronous Requests and the Status Service

Bria API v2 endpoints process requests asynchronously by default. When you make an asynchronous request, the API immediately returns a request_id and a status_url instead of the final result. Use the Status Service to track the request's progress until it reaches a completed state.

Upload of local video files

Use our Video Upload Service to upload local video files.

See the full guide at Status Service Documentation for complete details and usage examples.
