Video Background Changer for Talking-Head Videos
Video background changer for talking-head videos: BlitzCut separates you from your background and puts an image or a looping video behind you. Move and resize yourself in the frame, and apply it to one clip or the whole video, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
You filmed in whatever room you were in. A messy shelf, a window glare, or a plain wall isn't the look you wanted, and fixing it usually means a green screen or a separate compositing app.
BlitzCut's Background panel replaces what's behind the speaker with a picture or a video from your library. The person is separated from the original background automatically, so you don't need a green screen. Then you decide where they sit in the frame.
Everything you need, in one app
Image or video backgrounds
Use a still picture or a looping video behind the speaker.
Automatic subject separation
The person is cut out of the original background without a green screen.
Subject position and size
Reposition and resize the speaker in the frame.
Per-clip or whole-project
Apply the background to the current clip or to all clips.
How it works
Three steps from raw footage to finished video.
Open the Background panel
Turn on background replacement for your project.
Pick an image or a video
Choose a still image or a video from your library. A video background loops, and its audio is muted.
Position yourself
Move and resize the subject in the frame, and choose whether it applies to this clip or all clips.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I change the background of a video?
- Use an editor that can separate the person from the background, then place an image or video behind them. In BlitzCut you open the Background panel, pick an image or a video from your library, and position yourself in the frame.
- Do I need a green screen?
- No. BlitzCut separates the person from the original background automatically. Results are best when the person is clearly visible and well lit, so check the edges around hair and hands before you export.
- Can I use a video as the background?
- Yes. A video background loops, and its audio is muted so it doesn't compete with your voice.
- Can I move or resize myself in the frame?
- Yes. The Background panel includes controls to reposition and resize the subject.
- Can I apply a background to just one clip?
- Yes. You can apply the background to the current clip or to all clips in the project.
- How is this different from removing a video background?
- Removing leaves the person on a transparent layer, and changing puts something behind them. BlitzCut replaces the background in one step. For other ways to remove a background, see our guide to removing the background from a video.
- Which devices does it run on?
- BlitzCut runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and one subscription covers all three. Free to download with a 3-day free trial.
