Why we like it

Quick Matte 2 sits at rank 150 in the aescripts library. It earns its place as an AI background removal option that works on any scene, with recent updates focused on performance, a new render engine and improved GPU compatibility.

What is Quick Matte 2?

Quick Matte 2 is an AI background removal tool from Baskl.ai for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It removes backgrounds using AI and is designed to work on any scene, giving artists a way to isolate subjects from footage without leaving their editing or compositing application.

The version 2 line introduced new models and features. Version 2.1.0 adds a resolution parameter and brings a significant performance improvement, building on an earlier switch to a new render engine and work on broader GPU compatibility. An earlier update also added beta OFX support for Nuke and DaVinci Resolve, extending the tool beyond the Adobe applications.

Compatibility covers After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, plus the matching Premiere Pro releases, so the plugin fits into a range of existing Adobe setups. It stands in the aescripts library as an AI-based option for background removal, with recent releases concentrating on speed, render performance and GPU support rather than reworking the core workflow.
