Unscreen.com

Unscreen.com was an AI-powered web tool designed to remove backgrounds from videos automatically. Its core function was to take any video clip—whether it was a person talking, a product shot, or an animated character—and strip away the background, leaving a transparent alpha channel. This process happened without the need for a physical green screen, manual rotoscoping, or complex editing software. Users could simply upload their video, and the AI would handle the rest, outputting a file ready for use in other projects.

The tool stood out by focusing specifically on video, a more complex task than image background removal, and by integrating directly into professional workflows. It offered plugins for Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing editors to access its AI removal capabilities without leaving their editing timeline. The service operated on a credit system, where users purchased subscriptions for a certain amount of processing minutes. Notably, the platform automatically deleted all uploaded and processed video files 30 days after creation to prioritize user privacy.

Unscreen.com was most beneficial for content creators, social media managers, and video editors who needed to quickly produce clean, professional-looking clips for intros, overlays, or composite scenes. Its primary use cases included isolating subjects for YouTube videos, creating assets for presentations or explainer videos, and preparing product footage for e-commerce sites. The tool has now permanently shut down, with its functionality and team being integrated into Canva's broader video editing suite.
