I have been unable to upload a video or gif from mobile. The gif search and unscreen works correctly, but if I try to upload my own, it just hangs with the loading bar permanently. These files are <5MB, in correct format, and I'm on Firefox for Android.

I tried with an 8 second video on Safari for iOS. Worked well for a somewhat complex video (moving video with animal + human in foreground, carpet and walls in background), with only minor artifacts. Quite impressive.

Weird, maybe it's a Firefox issue, though I'd hate for that to be the case. Did you try any videos in a portrait aspect ratio?

This would make for an excellent after effects (or any post-production software for that matter) plugin. Would highly recommend going this route for the "Unscreen Pro" version that is yet to be released.

Separately, because I'd bet the makers are reading, are there any plans to offer the segmentation models or APIs locally? Was looking for this for the remove.bg product as well.

It would also make an excellent OBS plugin for streamers, if such a thing doesn't already exist.
