The warm lantern-lit alley does not wrap light onto the subjects: jacket edges still read as flat daylight with no warm rim light.

What was measured

Lighting adaptation

Does the replaced background look naturally lit relative to the subject, or obviously composited?

decisive for this rankingtransformation

If the replaced background does not match the subject’s lighting, the composite looks fake, so this is central to replacement quality. (3 of 3 judges)

What was given, what came back

Test input: Busy Urban Street · video · group: remove-or-replace-video-backgrounds-using-ai

Input — what we sent

A video of a person walking through a busy city street with multiple people, moving vehicles, and a visually complex urban background. It was used to stress segmentation and tracking under heavy background distraction and continuous motion.

Why this input is hard

· Complex background segmentation
· Handling background distractions
· Subject tracking
· Temporal consistency across frames
· Edge accuracy during continuous movement

Output — unretouched

Also checked on this input — same tool, 2 other criteria

Motion handling⚠ StruggledThe requested in-motion subjects are rendered more static and posed than the source’s forward-stride feel, so motion energy is flattened.Output resolution✗ FailedIt downscales a 1080×1920 source to a 720×1280 export instead of preserving the input resolution.
