I want to remove the bg of my video

Adobe Express advertise on it

I there and remove the bg, fantastic! 

Then I want to download the new video 

First issue, Adobe Express adds a white bg to my video, very nice, this is the opposite of what I wanted 

In the hidden settings I can remove the bg, I change the settings

Download again 

And now the bg is black! no way to do so

Either update your doc and stop lying to your customers 

Or repare your software

 

In advance, asking me to use premier to do so is not an acceptable answer at all

Hello, I think for now the best solution would be using a bright green background for your video in Express (some color like #04F721 ), and downloading your video with that background, then adding your video in your editing tool as a “green screen video”, I did like that for videos that I needed to be transparent, while only using Adobe Express for videos / animations. Of course when I tried with After Effects, the result was much better, since it supports exporting videos with transparent bgs. But for most of the videos that green screen workaround does the job. 

You might also want to vote for “transparent video backgrounds” feature request here: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express/suggestions/47161741-transparent-video-backgrounds

I know if some other expert/designer has any other suggestion, they’ll let you know, I hope this helps.
