Rembg-Fuse
An open-source AI background removal plugin for DaVinci Resolve Fusion.
Bring automated AI background removal directly into your video composition workflows.
Rembg-Fuse is a free and open-source plugin that integrates the rembg background removal library directly into DaVinci Resolve Fusion workflows. It is built for video editors and compositers who want to isolate subjects in their footage using Python scripts.
What it is
The tool uses the U-2-Net AI model to perform automatic background removal inside DaVinci Resolve's Fusion node-based environment. It operates as a lightweight, script-based Fuse implementation bridging Python and the video editor.
Who it's for
It suits video editors and e-commerce content creators already using DaVinci Resolve who need a free way to cut out product footage. It does not suit teams looking for a turnkey commercial plugin with dedicated customer support.
