Context from the listing review and editorial research.
Unscreen was well-regarded before acquisition. The technology lives on in Canva but with reduced functionality. Former users express frustration over losing transparent export and batch processing capabilities. Migration to Canva Pro is the only official path, though alternatives like Runway or VideoBackgroundRemover.io may offer better feature parity with the original Unscreen. ---
