Why we like it

Goodbye Greenscreen earns its place in the toolfarm library for pairing multiple AI matting models with a choice of GPU or CPU processing across both After Effects and Premiere Pro. Hardware acceleration on macOS and a CUDA option for renders above 4K round out a plugin that stays actively maintained.

What is Goodbye Greenscreen?

Goodbye Greenscreen is a matting plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro, developed by Blace Plugins and built on an AI backend. It ships with several matting models, with BiRefNet set as the default, and processes footage in either GPU or CPU mode.

On Windows, the GPU version of the plugin requires an Nvidia graphics card, and a recent update added AMD GPU support for some models. On macOS, all matting models run hardware-accelerated. For large renders above 4K, a CUDA Memory Sharing option speeds up processing, and a Stop Processing button lets you cancel long-running computations immediately. The plugin also supports 16-bit compositions.

GPU mode may not be as stable as CPU mode, so the developer recommends testing your configuration with the free trial before purchasing. Goodbye Greenscreen is compatible with After Effects 2026 through 2023 and Premiere Pro 2024 through 2022, and a demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects and Premiere Pro versions does Goodbye Greenscreen support?

Goodbye Greenscreen supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023, along with Premiere Pro 2024, 2023 and 2022. Before buying, the developer recommends testing your configuration with the free trial to confirm it runs on your setup. Recent releases have included compatibility updates for both applications and greatly improved Premiere Pro playback performance, so keeping the plugin current is worthwhile if you work across newer host versions.

Does Goodbye Greenscreen need an Nvidia GPU on Windows?

Goodbye Greenscreen requires an Nvidia graphics card on Windows to run the GPU version of the plugin. A recent update also added AMD GPU support for some models on Windows. If you don't have a supported GPU, the plugin also offers a CPU mode. Because GPU mode may not be as stable as CPU mode, the developer suggests testing your configuration with the free trial before purchasing.

Is Goodbye Greenscreen free?

Goodbye Greenscreen is listed as free in this catalog. A free trial is available, which the developer recommends using to test your configuration before purchasing, so licensing terms may apply beyond the trial. For the most accurate and current details, check the developer's page. Using the trial first lets you confirm the plugin runs correctly on your hardware and host versions before you commit.

What's the difference between GPU and CPU mode in Goodbye Greenscreen?

Goodbye Greenscreen offers both GPU and CPU processing modes, and the developer notes that GPU mode may not be as stable as CPU mode. On Windows the GPU version needs an Nvidia card, while a recent release added AMD GPU support for some models. On macOS, all matting models run hardware-accelerated. Because stability can vary by configuration, testing with the free trial before purchasing is recommended.
