    Note: Also posted this in the After Effects forum. Hope this is okay – I don’t post a lot and I don’t know the rules here. Mods, feel free to throw this one out if needed.

    I’m having a lot of difficulty keying hair from a recent shoot. It was shot and lit professionally (Prores 4:2:2) and visually doesn’t look like I should have any issues. I’ve tried Ultra Key in Premiere, Keylight in AE, and even tried a trial of Primatte, and no matter what I do, I end up with noisy buzzing around this guy’s hair. I’ve watched and read everything I can find and I didn’t encounter anyone with a similar issue – most tutorials were very simple, saying they pretty much click a few different areas of green, find the best one, and adjust clip black/white a little and it’s done. I’ve spent hours sampling different areas of the green screen and adjusting every setting available, and am making very little progress.

    One thing to note – this footage was shot with S-Log2. However, I put the correct LUT on top and made a new composition for the key. Would this effect anything somehow?

    Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I’ve attached a picture of the problem area for reference – although the issue isn’t as noticeable until you play the video. The hair just looks staticky, flickery, and unusable.

    Thanks!
