# Remove an object or person from a video

> Describe what should disappear and the AI fills the space with the background behind it, frame after frame, so the clip still moves naturally.

Erase a sign, a passer-by, a logo or clutter from a video clip with AI video inpainting. The background is filled in on every frame. Price shown before you run it.

## How it works

1. **Select the clip** — Pick the video on your timeline. Trim it to the part you need first; shorter clips cost less.
2. **Say what to remove** — “The person walking in the background”, “the red sign on the left”. The price in dollars shows before it runs.
3. **Check and keep editing** — The cleaned clip lands on your timeline. Play it back, then add captions, music or text and export.

## Why CutLuma for this

- **Fills the gap on every frame** — VOID video inpainting rebuilds the background across the whole shot, not just on one still.
- **Short, steady shots work best** — A small object in a calm shot comes out cleanest. Large objects in fast, shaky footage are harder.
- **Look before you publish** — Play the cleaned shot full size and watch the spot where the object was. A precise description usually beats a vague one.

## FAQ

**Is it free?**

No. Object removal runs on a paid AI model and needs a paid plan, a top-up pack or, on Pro and Business, your own fal.ai API key.

**Can I remove a watermark?**

Only from footage you own or have the rights to edit. Don’t remove other people’s watermarks or credits.

**What if a trace is left behind?**

Run it again with a clearer description, or cover the spot with a crop, a sticker or text.
