KEY / Green screen problems … FCP ASAP
So,
Keying the green screen out for the first time for a client. Came out fine, until the guy in the video moves his arm really fast. I can see the green screen behind him, it looks terrible. And it looks terrible. Does anyone know a way to get that out without A. removing other parts of the picture, or B. Matting it frame by frame?
Please help ASAP.

I changed the footage from H.264 to Apple Prores 422HQ.
The original green screen was poorly lit, making the Key itself difficult. I was able to matte out the edges where the light trails off changing the hue of the green screen, but the hands still plague me.

I’m okay with motion.
I guess that’s just what ill have to do.
Thanks for the help.

The late great Ultimatte Advantedge was good at handling this kind of thing all by itself (sad that ultimatte discontinued support) – IMO Primatte and Keylight are less effective as “one click” plug ins. Instead, use Primatte or Keylight to generate mattes, and then use those mattes as alpha channels and/or in precomps using various transfer modes as needed for color suppression in transparent and soft objects.
For a non – roto approach, see this tutorial that is very useful for blurry and transparent objects:
