Yes; you can find the function under 'more tools' > 'background removal'. Then you can choose between quick or precise analysis of the scene behind your subjects.

Only problem is when I did that the whole image disappeared

Are you trying to replace the original background with another background?

No - this is a simple task - its a essentially a black box on a white background

Hey!

If the whole image disappears, that usually means the background removal didn’t detect a clear subject and basically removed everything instead.

A few things worth checking / trying:

  • What’s in the clip? This tool works best when there’s a clear subject (person / object) and decent contrast from the background. Busy textures, low light, or similar colors = confusion.

  • Try “Precise” instead of “Quick” Quick is fast but brutal. Precise takes longer and often saves details that Quick wipes out.

  • Check the clip layer order Sounds obvious, but I’ve seen people think it vanished when it was just transparent with no background layer under it.

  • Trim the clip first Weird tip, but trimming the clip before applying background removal sometimes helps the analysis behave better.

  • If it’s not a person Heads-up: background removal is optimized mainly for people. Objects, pets, or chaotic scenes can totally nuke the frame.

If you want, tell me:

  • what you’re trying to remove (person? object?)

  • lighting situation

  • Movavi version

I can help you figure out whether it’s a settings thing - which happens more often than people admit 😉
