CapCut Smart Cutout: Easy Background Removal for Beginners

Sometimes the background of a video or image can be distracting, dull, or unappealing. CapCut’s Smart Cutout feature allows you to remove backgrounds quickly, replacing them with more creative or neutral options. This tool works automatically, saving you from manually erasing unwanted areas and giving your videos a polished, professional look. It works on both videos and photos, allowing precise adjustments to edges for a clean finish.

Why Cutout Matters in Video Editing

Manual background removal can be slow and tedious. Cutout uses AI to identify the main subject of your clip, automatically separating it from the background. This saves time, reduces mistakes, and allows you to focus on creative enhancements, such as adding effects, new backgrounds, or animations.

Boosting Creativity with effective Cutout

Once the background is removed, you can place your subject in any scene — from colorful virtual sets to animated backdrops. Smart Cutout helps content creators quickly produce high-quality videos, turning plain footage into professional-looking content suitable for storytelling, marketing, or social media posts.

SC is an AI-powered tool in CapCut that removes backgrounds from videos or images automatically. It detects the main subject without the need for manual outlining. The process is easy, even for beginners, and results in professional-quality output.

How it Works

The AI identifies the main subject of your clip and removes everything else. You can refine edges if necessary and add effects, new backgrounds, or animations. While it works on complex backgrounds, clear and high-quality footage produces the best results.

Smart Cutout vs Traditional Methods

Traditional manual cutting requires outlining the subject frame by frame, which can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially for long videos. Using Smart Cut out automates this process, delivering accurate results in far less time. Both methods can be precise, but the AI tool saves significant effort.
