Transparent Frames

Export transparent WebP or PNG frames at fixed intervals.

✨

Animated WebP and GIF

Generate looping transparent WebP or GIF outputs directly from video.

🫥

MatAnyone Pair Support

Combine `*_fg.*` and `*_alpha.*` videos into transparent WebP or GIF outputs.

🤖

Multiple AI Models

Switch between isnet-general-use, u2net, u2netp, u2net_human_seg, and silueta.

Latest Additions

The documentation now includes timestamped auto-output folders, an explicit --format mp4 mode, and a shared --size WIDTHxHEIGHT option across video, frame, and animated exports.

Latest Experiment

The fire-effect clip comparison is documented in Examples. For assets/onizuka_fire_motion.mp4, silueta gave the best overall balance, while u2net was the most stable fallback when you want a cleaner silhouette.
