Only for Mac

Mac
Click an object in your video and Video Cutout isolates it with a clean alpha channel. Four AI engines, no subscription, no ads. One-time purchase.
Pixelplenum: Video Cutout turns any video clip into a clean cut-out. Click the object you want to keep, and the app isolates it from the background across the whole clip — then exports it with a real alpha channel, ready to drop onto a new background in any editor that reads transparency.
No green screen required. No manual frame-by-frame masking. Just click and export.
FOUR AI ENGINES — PICK THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE SHOT
• Apple Vision — built into macOS, very fast. Click once and it finds the object. Perfect for clear single subjects.
• SAM 2 Tiny — Meta's Segment Anything 2, click-precise. Add positive and negative clicks to nail tricky shapes.
• SAM 2 Large — the highest-quality engine for demanding shots and fine edges.
• Color Threshold — instant, pixel-exact keying for green screens and plain, single-colour backgrounds.
The two SAM 2 engines download once, for free, the first time you use them. Apple Vision and Color Threshold work right away.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Drag a video in (.mov, .mp4, .m4v).
2. Click the object you want to cut out. A live preview mask appears right away.
3. Optionally set a start and end frame to process only the part you need.
4. Start tracking — the object is followed across every frame.
5. Preview as a checkerboard cut-out or a solid-colour mask.
6. Export with alpha as HEVC with alpha (compact) or ProRes 4444 (highest quality).
BUILT FOR APPLE SILICON
Video Cutout runs the AI models on the Neural Engine of your Mac, so tracking is fast and stays entirely on your device. Your footage never leaves your Mac.
FINE-TUNING WHEN YOU NEED IT
Adjustable sliders for mask edge sharpness, tracking stability and colour tolerance let you dial in hair-fine edges or hard cut lines — with a plain-language explanation behind every control.
LANGUAGES
The app is fully available in English and German and switches instantly from the toolbar — no restart.
PRIVACY & NO ADS
Video Cutout contains NO advertising, NO tracking and NO data collection. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription. You buy the app once and own it. All processing happens locally on your Mac; nothing is uploaded.
