Vakago Tools AI Background Remover

What is Vakago Tools AI Background Remover?

Vakago Tools AI Background Remover is an extension for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects that uses neural networks to automatically detect people in video footage and generate masks for them. Once a subject is masked, you can blur or replace the background with a click, brighten faces, draw attention to specific individuals, or remove people from a shot entirely. It also supports broader edits like adjusting brightness and contrast.

The tool offers several adjustable settings, including mask expansion, mask sensitivity, and the amount of background blur. A soft mask feature produces natural-looking edges around subjects.

The extension was built specifically for video editors working in Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

Who is it for?

The tool suits video editors, content creators, social media managers, graphic designers, photographers, marketing specialists, YouTubers, filmmakers, animators, and web designers.
