Questions

How is the person cut out?

The generator runs HyperFrames remove-background, a local segmentation model, on your own footage and caches the result. You can also pass your own cutout or footage that already has transparency.

Why does the title not move at the cut?

It is one persistent SVG text layer. Only the footage and its cutout are cut at exactly 1.8 seconds, so the lettering keeps its size and position while the canvas changes underneath.

Does it work with Chinese headlines?

Yes. Chinese content is detected and set in the bundled Smiley Sans with Noto Sans SC as a fallback; keep it to about 4 to 8 characters.

I do not have footage yet. Can PopNow make some?

PopNow can generate a short stand-in take with a fictional presenter for drafts and pitches, after showing you the price. For a video that is meant to show you, use your own footage.
