    I am compositing a 3d character into live action in AE.

    I have added Noise to match the footage but how do I feather the alpha so the cg element blends more naturally with the footage?

    I have rendered the character out of Cinema 4D with a separate alpha sequence.

    Try the “matte feather” plug in. A better one is available in Pinnacle’s Composite Wizard suite of AE plugins.

    Did you also light the 3D CG to match the lighting in the BG footage?

    the matte choker has some feathering abilities.
    not the simple choker though.
