  That´s a difficult one. Maybe I know a guy that can help you:

  contact him at: satan@hell.com

  Bad thing is he charges souls.

  Sorry ’bout the horrible joke.

  I don´t know how bad your green screen is but maybe if you could duplicate de layer then make the image black and white and level it up (by that I mean useing levels or curves and crushing everything) to a point where you have the green screen all black or all white and then put it over the origianl and use it as a mate. But this also needs some keyframeing. And can be a bit of a pain.

  But I must say: There´s nothing worse to deal with then bad key.

  Wish you luck on that one.

  Cheers.

  Check out this tutorial by Aharon Rabinowitz : Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes. Using his method you will eliminate much of the screen you need key out.
