Remove or replace backgrounds from video files
The Remove Video Background block processes a video and removes or replaces its background, outputting a new video URL saved to a variable of your choice. It accepts a video URL as its primary input and uses the standard engine to perform the background removal. An optional face image URL and target index can be provided, which suggests the block supports scenarios where a specific subject or face is used to guide the processing.

What are the required parameters for this block?
The block requires a video URL (the source video to process), a destination variable name (where the output URL will be saved), and the engine set to 'standard'. The faceImageUrl and targetIndex fields are also available as inputs, and intermediateAsset is an optional boolean.
What does the block return?
The block saves the URL of the processed video to the variable specified in the destinationVar field. This URL can then be referenced by downstream blocks in the workflow.
What is the intermediateAsset option used for?
When intermediateAsset is set to true, the output asset is created but hidden from the gallery. This is useful when the processed video is an intermediate step in a larger workflow and does not need to be surfaced as a final deliverable.
What is the faceImageUrl parameter for?
The faceImageUrl parameter accepts a URL pointing to a face image, and works alongside the targetIndex field. These inputs appear to guide the block in identifying or targeting a specific subject within the video during background removal.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block fits into video editing and content production workflows where background removal is needed before publishing, compositing, or further processing. It can also serve as an intermediate step in automated pipelines that handle video transformation at scale.
