# Background Removal by Tella

> Tella is an all-in-one screen recorder with AI video editing that lets startups and entrepreneurs create quick video messages, social demos, and long-form videos without switching apps. Recording, editing, and sharing happen in one tool.

## Summary
Background removal separates the presenter from their camera surroundings after recording. The cut-out presenter can sit directly on the video's background, appear in front of text and image overlays, or extend beyond a camera frame.

## Background removal
Choose a Cut out camera layout to keep the presenter and remove the room behind them. No green screen is required. The composition remains editable in Tella, so the presenter can be repositioned or placed over a different story background after recording.

## Layered compositions
Text and image overlays can be set to Behind presenter. Tella renders those overlays between the removed camera background and the presenter, making it possible to add headlines, diagrams, screenshots, and other context without covering the speaker.

## Pop-out camera frames
Pop-out keeps a visible camera frame while allowing the presenter to extend above its top edge. The pop-out amount is adjustable, and the effect works with square, rounded, and circular camera frames.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need a green screen?
No. Tella separates the presenter from their camera background, so a clean cut-out does not require a green screen.

### Can I put text and images behind the presenter?
Yes. Set a text or image overlay to Behind presenter and Tella places it between the removed camera background and the person on screen.

### What is a pop-out camera frame?
A pop-out keeps the camera frame while letting the presenter extend beyond its top edge. The amount can be adjusted and the frame can be square, rounded, or circular.

### Can I change the layout after recording?
Yes. Background removal, layered overlays, and pop-out frames are applied in the editor, so the layout and composition can be adjusted after recording.
