Why we like it

Vanish BG earns its place in the aescripts library for keeping background removal inside the timeline across both Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Vanish BG handles background removal inside Premiere Pro, working directly on your timeline. With its latest update, it now supports After Effects as well. In both applications it removes backgrounds at lossless quality, in seconds.
