Once an object detected (cricled with magenta), if you click you get the selection with the little marching ants. Still over the object, if you press Option (or alt on PC) the cursor icon normaly shows the sign "-" (minus) and you deselect the object.

At the very end of your video you can notice the minus sign for a very very short moment. so it may work.

You must press option when the cursor is over the objecr. Just place your cursor over. do not click but press option to see if the minus sign appears or not
