Remove Background from Video

Overview

Bria's Video Editing API empowers builders with powerful tools for programmatically transforming video content while maintaining original quality.

The first feature, Background Removal, enables developers to seamlessly remove backgrounds from videos while preserving the source video's resolution and framerate. The API supports a wide range of common video formats including MP4, AVI, MOV, GIF, and WEBM, offering builders flexibility for various video processing implementations.

Processing is asynchronous, meaning the API returns a video URL immediately, but results are available only after processing is complete. A 10-second video typically takes ~5 minutes, with longer videos scaling proportionally.
