  [CS6] Keying blurred elements (Bokeh on bluescreen) (Footage included)

  Hi there,

  so I am keying footage shot in front of a bluescreen. Several elements are out of focus. I am struggling to get the key right.

  Original footage:

  

  

  Keying so far:

  
  Problem here: the blade of grass, trees in background

  
  Problem here: the egg

  What I did is a key that consists of two layers:
  One a bit shrunk one above, which is like the inner key, this gets the color right.
  One laying underneath, which deals with the edges. I adjusted the despill bias, which gives me nice blurred edges, but makes a lot of other parts of the images opaque too. And it messes up the colors of the inner parts.

  How do you deal with heavily blurred footage?

  Here is the original footage in hires, if you want to try:
