Object Eraser Tool

Remove unwanted objects, people, logos, or any elements from your videos using AI. Bria Object Eraser intelligently fills in the background where the object was, making it disappear completely.

What It Does

Bria Object Eraser removes things from your video:

  • People - Remove bystanders, unwanted extras, or yourself from shots

  • Objects - Erase logos, signs, products, or any item you want gone

  • Watermarks - Remove existing watermarks or logos from footage

  • Distractions - Clean up any visual distractions in your scene

The AI automatically fills in the background where the object was, resulting in a seamless image.

How to Use

Quick Start (Fast Path)

The fastest way to erase objects:

  1. Attach a video - Drag & drop or use Import Clip (max 5 seconds)

  2. Select "Bria Erase Object" - From the video-to-video model selector

  3. Describe what to remove - Type what you want gone (e.g., "the person on the left", "the logo in the corner")

  4. Send - Click send to process

That's it—the AI removes what you described and fills in the background.

Canvas Editor (Advanced Control)

For more precise control:

  1. Attach a video and click "Edit" on the thumbnail

  2. Select "Bria Erase Object" from the model dropdown

  3. Choose your selection method:

    • Text Tab - Type what to erase (same as fast path)

    • Point Tab - Click directly on objects to erase

  4. Configure output format (optional):

    • ProRes (MOV) - Best for Premiere Pro

    • H.264 (MP4) - Most compatible

    • H.265 (MP4) - Smaller file size

  5. Click "Erase Object" to process

Point Selection Mode

Point mode gives you precise control:

  • Click on objects to mark them for erasure (red dots)

  • Shift+Click on areas to protect them from erasure (green dots)

  • Add multiple points for complex selections

  • Clear All button resets your selection

Tip: Use protect points (Shift+Click) if the AI is accidentally removing something you want to keep.

Tips for Best Results

Video Preparation

  • Keep it short - 5 seconds maximum

  • Good quality - Higher quality input = better results

  • Clear subject - Objects should be clearly visible

  • Stable footage - Works better with minimal camera shake

Selection Tips

  • Text mode for clearly describable objects

  • Point mode for hard-to-describe or specific objects

  • Use both - Start with text, refine with points if needed

Processing Tips

  • Be patient - Processing can take 1-2 minutes

  • Review carefully - Check the filled-in areas look natural

  • Iterate - If results aren't perfect, try different prompts or use point mode

Troubleshooting

"Video must be 5 seconds or less."

  • Problem: Your video exceeds the 5-second limit

  • Solution: Trim your video in Premiere Pro first, then import the shorter clip

"Object not fully removed"

  • Problem: Parts of the object remain visible

  • Solution: Try a more specific prompt describing exactly what to remove, or use Point mode to click directly onthe remaining parts directly.

"Wrong object removed."

  • Problem: The AI removed something you didn't want removed

  • Solution: Use Point mode with protect points (Shift+Click) on areas you want to keep

"Background fill looks unnatural."

  • Problem: The filled-in area doesn't match the surrounding area

  • Solution: This can happen with complex backgrounds. Try processing a shorter clip or using a different angle.

Model Not Appearing

  • Problem: Bria Object Eraser isn't in the dropdown

  • Solution: Make sure you have a video attached first. The option only appears for video-to-video editing.
