About FxFactory Background Remover

FxFactory Background Remover automatically isolates the primary subjects in a clip—people, animals, or objects—allowing you to extract a clean key from footage shot without a greenscreen or bluescreen. The plugin supplies multiple output modes: subject only, background only, black‑and‑white mask for matte tracks, and a Defocus blur effect. Additional functions let you swap backgrounds and apply filters to specific frame areas, serving both as a special‑effects tool and a utility for masking. It runs in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Operation requires Noise Industries FxFactory (free download), FxFactory 8.0.12 or later, and macOS 14 or newer.
