Unscreen
RivendicaUnscreen was an automatic video background removal service, now permanently shut down. Try Canva’s video editor instead.
Overview
Unscreen was an automatic video background removal service. The site’s current messaging makes clear that the product has been shut down permanently and is no longer available for use.
Before shutdown, Unscreen processed uploaded videos, returned downloadable results, and removed files shortly after processing. The privacy policy also indicates that the service handled uploads securely and supported account-based use, while the home page notes that it offered Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro plugins.
What it offered before shutdown
Automatic deletion window
The site states that videos were automatically deleted 30 days after processing, which limited long-term storage of user uploads.
Desktop editor plugins
The home page says Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro plugins were available, and that they have since been removed from app stores.
Account and contact handling
The privacy policy says users could register an account, subscribe to marketing communications, and submit enquiries through the service.
Usage analytics for product improvement
The privacy policy also says the service collected usage and interaction data to improve its products and services.
Typical uses before shutdown
Background removal for video clips
Creators could use Unscreen to remove a background from an uploaded video and then download the processed result for reuse in another edit.
Adobe workflow integration
Teams working in Adobe apps could use the available plugins to send work through the background-removal workflow from After Effects or Premiere Pro.
Managed upload-and-download processing
Users who wanted a hosted workflow could upload a file, let the service process it, and retrieve the output without keeping the source file long term.
Recent file recovery
People with recent processed videos could contact support to request a download within the 30-day retention window described on the site.
