You don't need a chroma key, a lighting rig, or a strip of green felt. Premiere's AI Object Mask lifts your subject off any background and drops them into a new one, with the edges blended cleanly.
In this tutorial, you'll discover how to:
- Auto-isolate your subject with Object Mask, then refine the selection until the edges are clean
- Lock the mask to your subject with forward and backward tracking, fixing any small gaps frame by frame
- Apply the mask to opacity, then dial in expansion and feathering so your subject blends into the new environment
Perfect for short films, brand spots, social content, and any shoot where the real-world location wasn't quite right.
What's the first background you'd want to swap out? Comment below and save this tutorial for your next video project.
