So we saw a little bit about how to remove a background from a photo. Now
0:06
let's see how to remove a background from a video using some of the features
0:12
of Canva. So not everyone knows this but you can actually create a video in Canva
0:17
This is a design that has been upgraded quite a bit over the last few months and
0:23
I'm guessing that we'll see more upgrades to come. Now there are all
0:27
different types of animated background in Canva's elements library kind of like
0:32
these cool flames right over here. But I have a problem. I want to take this actor
0:39
and put him in the foreground of this slide so he's actually talking in front
0:48
of those flames in the background. But the problem is is that I don't really
0:53
have a good way to do it. If I leave this as is the majority of this video
1:00
takes up the real estate on my slide so you can't really see those flames too
1:06
good. What I'd like to be able to do is to remove this background so I just have
1:11
this actor almost like he's a news anchor I guess. So you can do that in
1:17
Canva. I'm going to select the video that I want. I'm going to go up to where it
1:22
says edit video and I'm going to choose this option that says background remover
1:27
There we go. The AI in Canva was automatically able to detect the subject of our video and
1:36
remove everything else in the background. So now I can kind of take our actor right
1:45
over here. He's almost like a news anchor. Okay he is now in the foreground. I have
1:51
our background right over here. If I wanted to do something like this like almost have a news
1:58
broadcast with this image in the corner I could do this. Let's see how this looks
2:03
There we go. You can see our actor is there. We have our background for some reason it moved a
2:12
little slow. There we go. So a really cool feature what's great about this is you don't
2:20
really need a green screen. You could film yourself or someone else in front of a wall
2:25
upload that to Canva use that remove background feature and it's almost like you have your own
2:32
chroma key without actually needing the green screen. Now it is limited to I believe 90 seconds
2:40
so if you have a really long video it's not going to work but if you have something short and brief
2:45
for a presentation or a video you may want to check this out. Now I do want to show you one
2:51
other video. I'm going to take this this woman speaking in front of the wall like I mentioned
2:57
We can use this same feature but you'll notice sometimes it can have it can struggle just a
3:04
little bit with kind of not being able to isolate the subject. Instead it either removes some of
3:13
the color or it takes them away especially when you have a subject like this who was moving her
3:18
arms quite a bit turning her head that sort of thing. So it's not a hundred percent perfect. I
3:24
can show you this person dancing as well. Let me try that again. It's not perfect but you know
3:35
pretty good. If you had a background you may not be able to notice those spots where the reddish
3:41
pinkish wall is visible. But again just a great AI tool that I think is going to be extremely
3:48
helpful for you. It's the ability to remove the background with just one click inside Canva
