Top Features of Green Screen Editor — PowerDirector

  • AI Background Remover

    AI Background Remover

    You don’t need a green screen to transport your subject to a new place. With the AI Background Remover, PowerDirector automatically detects your subject in your video. It cuts you out so you can add a seamless new background image or clip behind you. Remove cluttered backgrounds, dreary outdoor settings, and photobombers, and replace them with a clean room or action scene.

  • Chroma Key/Green Screen

    Add effects like the film pros using the chroma key on selected areas of your shot. Replace what you see through an ordinary window to create an otherworldly view, or put a moving ad on green screen panels for an immersive experience. Select the part of your video you want to transform and choose a clip or image to put there instead.

  • Trim & Edit Clips to Create the Perfect Highlight

    Blending Modes

    PowerDirector’s 9-layer modes let you combine video clips and images for a surreal effect. You can overlay bright city lights and gorgeous landmarks on your body. The tool blends the colors of each layer, so the effect looks natural and lets you go beyond reality by applying these beautiful scenes to yourself.
