+# 🍹 Video Background Replacer
 
-# Video Background Replacement
-
-A simple Streamlit app that replaces video backgrounds using MatAnyone AI with direct MyAvatar integration.
-
-## Features
-- Upload video files (MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV)
-- Upload background images (PNG, JPG, JPEG)
-- AI-powered background replacement using MatAnyone
-- Preserves original audio from input videos
-- Web-optimized MP4 output with instant streaming capability
-- Download processed video
-- 💾 Save to MyAvatar - Direct integration with MyAvatar library
-
-## Usage
-1. Upload your video file
-2. Upload your desired background image
-3. Click "🍹 PROCESS VIDEO"
-4. Choose your action:
-   - ⬇️ Download - Save to your device
-   - 💾 Save to My Videos - Add directly to your MyAvatar library
-
-## 🎬 Video Output Quality
-This app automatically creates professional-quality, web-compatible MP4 videos:
-
-- **H.264 Encoding**: Industry-standard codec for maximum browser compatibility
-- **Audio Preservation**: Automatically extracts and maintains original audio tracks
-- **Moov Atom Optimization**: Fixes MP4 metadata positioning using qtfaststart for instant web streaming
-- **Smart Fallbacks**: Gracefully handles different system configurations (FFmpeg/moviepy available or not)
-
-### Why This Matters
-Input videos display perfectly in browsers, but AI-generated videos often have metadata and audio issues. Our solution ensures output videos have the same streaming compatibility and audio quality as professional camera recordings.
