Remove Background detects the subject and strips everything behind it. No manual masking. It works on images and on video clips.

​
Using it

Right-click an image node and choose Tools → Remove Background. On the connected tool node, leave Refine edges on (it cleans up hair and soft boundaries; turn it off for hard-edged graphics), then press Remove background. The job runs in the background and the cutout, subject on a transparent background, lands in the node. From there, wire the cutout into any downstream node, or click Add result as node to break it out as a standalone image node.

​
Video background removal

Connect a video node instead and the tool keys the moving subject out of the clip. The subject is rendered against a solid green backdrop, which the canvas preview chroma-keys away automatically, so the node shows a clean transparent clip. Add result as node creates a Flam node with the keying already applied, ready to composite over other layers.
Cutouts composite anywhere: drop one onto a generated backdrop with Inpaint, or wire it into a video node as a clean subject reference.
