How to Change Video Background without Green Screen

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to change, modify, or remove the background in video. We walk through three different techniques. The first offers the best quality but requires an NVIDIA RTX graphics card. With NVIDIA Broadcast, you can change or remove background video with exceptional quality. For the second technique, we use a background remover plugin that you can install in OBS Studio. Lastly, we use Snap Camera together with OBS Studio to remove the video background without a green screen.

With the short attention span of many today I get the need for fast talking vids BUT I sure appreciate the pace of your videos. You do an excellent job! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. The best non-clickbait, informative and well presented solution I was looking for!

Kevin, using the "Shhh, the baby is sleeping...🤫" voice 😉

Great topic! I don't have the graphic card for Nvidia so chose the strictly OBS option and found that they now have a possibly better plugin option available that doesn't use as much memory called AI_remove_bg. Thank you and keep chopping!

This is exactly what I need. I'm going to play your vid more than once so I can learn how to do everything I want.. :) I must say you also speak at a great speed and have a lovely soothing accent:) Thanks so much,

This Video was a very useful one. I felt like the tone of Kevin's Sound was changed Compared to other Videos. Good Video 👍👍👍

Have you thought about doing audiobooks and have you also thought of doing voices that keep people I swear your voice brings down my BP/Heart rate

[greydebois]

i dont think ive ever seen such a peaceful man. thank you Kevin

[RabbitRoo]

I watched several videos and none knew the Nvidia option but you. It is so much better thanks Kevin!

[TechnMoto]

Great info. Thanks and I hope your vacation was great.

Omg!! thank-you so much kevin... my laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for zoom virtual backgrounds.. now I can use this technique. Thanks again

[jamesdevriendt]

This is outstanding! Thank you very much. I was getting ready to invest in greenscreen tech that I don't need!

[cenevspeed]

As always you are back with a banger! This is by far the best tutorial for removing a background. I do not have an NVIDIA graphics card but you provided 2 other methods which are bound to work. I have been using OBS for a long time but never knew such a plug-in! Now I guess I need a new webcam to get high-quality footage directly from my PC... or I can use the method you mentioned at 10:20.... Thanks!

Thank you Kevin for this tutorial I'm going to try this for my zoom meetings
