The Bria VRMBG 3.0 API is now available on Pixazo API — giving developers direct, programmatic access to Bria AI’s latest video background removal model. VRMBG 3.0 takes a video URL as input, analyzes it frame by frame, and strips the background from every frame — returning a clean WebM VP9 output with a transparent or custom-colored background, audio optionally preserved. No green screen. No manual rotoscoping. No studio setup required.

Bria AI is purpose-built for commercial use: every model is trained exclusively on licensed data, which means VRMBG 3.0 outputs carry clear IP rights — a requirement, not a nice-to-have, for teams building production video pipelines.

What Is Bria VRMBG 3.0?

BRIA VRMBG 3.0 is Bria AI’s third-generation video background removal model. The name decodes as: V = Video, RMBG = Remove Background, 3.0 = version. Unlike image-processing APIs that operate on a single static frame, VRMBG 3.0 is built specifically for video — processing the full temporal sequence of frames while maintaining consistency across them. Subjects do not flicker, edges do not shift unexpectedly, and the output holds together as a coherent clip rather than a sequence of disconnected stills.

The model accepts any publicly accessible video URL, sends it through Bria’s cloud processing pipeline, and returns a background-removed video. By default the background is fully transparent — so the output drops cleanly into any compositing workflow. You can alternatively fill the background with any solid color using the background_color parameter.

Input

Any publicly accessible video URL over HTTPS. Submit once and receive a request_id immediately (HTTP 202).

Output Format

WebM VP9 by default. The output container and codec are configurable via output_container_and_codec.

Background

Transparent by default. Set background_color to any value to fill with a solid color instead.

Audio

Optional passthrough. Set preserve_audio: true to retain the original audio track in the output.

Temporal Consistency

Frame-by-frame processing maintains edge and subject continuity across the full clip — no frame-level flickering.

Commercial License

Bria trains exclusively on licensed data. Every VRMBG 3.0 output carries clear IP rights for production and commercial use.

The processing model is fully asynchronous: you submit a request and get a request_id back immediately. The video is queued and processed in the background. Retrieve results by polling the status endpoint or by setting the X-Webhook-URL header for push delivery when processing completes.

BRIA VRMBG 3.0 API — Use Cases

VRMBG 3.0 enables production-grade video background removal through a single API call. Here are the primary workflows developers are building:

E-commerce product video: Strip product demo backgrounds programmatically and composite onto clean white, branded, or context-appropriate scenes at catalog scale — no per-video editing required.
Social content automation: Remove backgrounds from UGC or branded clips before adding overlays, stickers, or branded templates. Run hundreds of clips through the API in a single batch pipeline.
Virtual production & compositing: Pre-process talent footage to isolate foreground subjects before compositing with AI-generated backgrounds, 3D environments, or motion graphics.
AI presenter and avatar pipelines: Extract clean subject video for digital human, AI avatar, or virtual presenter systems that require foreground-only input.
Video editing automation: Replace manual rotoscoping in post-production pipelines. Feed raw clips in, get background-free output ready for downstream editing.
Marketing and advertising: Rapidly adapt video creative for different placements by swapping backgrounds — from white product shots to seasonal scenes — without reshooting.
Education and media: Remove or replace backgrounds in lecture recordings, explainer videos, or presentation content for cleaner, distraction-free output.

VRMBG 3.0 performs best on single-subject or clearly defined foreground content. Complex multi-subject scenes or very low-contrast foreground-background combinations may require additional downstream processing.

BRIA VRMBG 3.0 API — Parameters & Options

The VRMBG 3.0 request body has four parameters. Only video_url is required; the remaining three are optional with sensible defaults:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`video_url`	string	Yes	—	URL of the source video. Must be publicly accessible over HTTPS.
`output_container_and_codec`	string	No	webm_vp9	Output container and codec for the processed video.
`preserve_audio`	boolean	No	false	Set to `true` to retain the original audio track in the output.
`background_color`	string	No	Transparent	Background fill color. Defaults to fully transparent alpha channel.

In addition to these body parameters, all requests pass the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header for authentication. Add the optional X-Webhook-URL header to any request to receive a POST callback on your server when processing completes — no polling infrastructure needed.

Request status lifecycle: Every VRMBG 3.0 job moves through four possible states:

QUEUED

Request accepted and waiting for a processing slot. This is the initial state after a successful HTTP 202 response.

PROCESSING

Video is actively being processed. Duration scales with video length and resolution.

COMPLETED

Background removal finished. The output video URL is available in the status response.

FAILED / ERROR

Processing did not complete. The error field explains the failure. Check that video_url is publicly accessible before retrying.

VRMBG 3.0 vs. Traditional Video Background Removal

Background removal from video has historically required one of three approaches, each with significant trade-offs. VRMBG 3.0 replaces all three with a single API call:

Traditional Approaches

Manual rotoscoping: Frame-by-frame masking in editing software. Highly accurate but requires hours of labor per minute of footage.
Green screen: Requires physical studio setup, controlled lighting, and a consistent background color. Not viable for existing footage.
Desktop AI tools: Batch processing on local hardware. Not API-native, limited to desktop workflows, often image-only rather than video.

Bria VRMBG 3.0 API

No physical setup: Works on any existing footage. Submit a URL, get a processed video back.
API-native: Integrates directly into any backend or automation pipeline via a single HTTP POST.
Temporal consistency: Frame-level processing maintains subject edges across the full clip without flickering.
Commercial license: Outputs are IP-clear for production use — no licensing ambiguity.
Async & scalable: Queue as many jobs as needed. No local GPU or hardware dependency.

How to Get Started with Bria VRMBG 3.0 API

Getting from zero to your first processed video takes three steps:

Get Your API KeySign up at Pixazo API and generate your subscription key from the API Dashboard. One key covers VRMBG 3.0 and all other models in the Pixazo catalog.

Submit a Video Background Removal RequestPOST your video URL to the VRMBG 3.0 endpoint. You receive a request_id immediately (HTTP 202). Processing begins in the background queue.

Retrieve Your Processed VideoPoll the status endpoint with your request_id, or configure the X-Webhook-URL header to receive an automatic callback when the status reaches COMPLETED.

Python — submit a request:

import requests url = "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/bria-video-background-removal-v3/v1/bria-video-background-removal-v3-request" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } data = { "video_url": "https://your-video-url.com/video.mp4", "output_container_and_codec": "webm_vp9", "preserve_audio": True, "background_color": "Transparent" } response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers) result = response.json() print("Request ID:", result.get("request_id"))

Using webhooks instead of polling: Add the X-Webhook-URL header to receive a POST callback when processing completes. This eliminates the need to build a polling loop on your end:

headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "X-Webhook-URL": "https://your-server.com/webhook/bria-callback" } # Pixazo POSTs the completed result payload to your endpoint automatically

The status endpoint tracks each job through QUEUED → PROCESSING → COMPLETED. Once COMPLETED, the response includes the output video URL ready for download or downstream processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bria VRMBG 3.0 API?
Bria VRMBG 3.0 API is a video-to-video background removal API. It accepts a publicly accessible video URL as input and returns the video with its background removed — outputting WebM VP9 with a transparent or custom background color.

How does VRMBG 3.0 handle temporal consistency across video frames?
VRMBG 3.0 processes video as a temporal sequence rather than a series of independent images. This maintains edge continuity and subject coherence across frames, preventing the flickering or edge instability that occurs when image-level background removal is applied frame by frame to video.

What video formats does VRMBG 3.0 support?
The video_url parameter accepts any publicly accessible video URL over HTTPS. The video must be reachable by Bria’s processing infrastructure. Standard web-accessible video formats are supported.

What output format does VRMBG 3.0 return?
The default output is WebM VP9, which natively supports transparent alpha channels. The container and codec can be changed via the output_container_and_codec parameter if your workflow requires a specific format.

Can I keep the audio from the original video?
Yes. Set preserve_audio: true in your request body to retain the original audio track in the processed VRMBG 3.0 output.

Can I output a solid background color instead of transparent?
Yes. Use the background_color parameter to specify any solid fill color. The default is Transparent, but any color value is accepted.

How long does VRMBG 3.0 take to process a video?
Processing time scales with video length and resolution. The API is asynchronous — you receive a request_id immediately (HTTP 202) and retrieve the result once the status reaches COMPLETED. Use webhooks to avoid polling overhead on longer videos.

Is Bria VRMBG 3.0 commercially safe to use?
Yes. Bria AI trains exclusively on licensed data. VRMBG 3.0 outputs are commercially licensed — safe for production products, client deliverables, and revenue-generating applications without IP ambiguity.

Do I need a separate Bria account to use VRMBG 3.0 on Pixazo?
No. Your Pixazo API subscription key gives you direct access to VRMBG 3.0 alongside all other Pixazo models. No separate Bria registration or billing account is required.

What happens if video processing fails?
The status field returns FAILED or ERROR, and the error field explains the failure reason. Verify that the video_url is publicly accessible and the video format is standard before retrying. For persistent failures, check the Pixazo API documentation.
