Keep

Your room, as recorded

Pop out

Keeps the camera frame; your head rises over its top edge

Cut out

No background at all; you stand on the canvas with a soft shadow

Pop-out height

How far you rise above the frame; applies as you drag

Pop-out height, live

Drag the slider and the preview follows straight away. At zero the camera draws as normal. Raise it and you rise out over the frame’s border.
