    I’m using the keylight effect in after effects and all is going pretty well, but I can’t get rid of the green border outline that is going around the person. What is the best way to get rid of this? Thanks.

    Thanks for the links. It was shot in HDV. Why is HDV bad for green screen, and what IS good for doing green screen? I just want to get the best possible look. And it looks good, except for those edges, with either green outline or a lot of noise on those edges. Thanks.

    Short story is DV and HDV toss out tons of color info, so you will often end up with jaggy/noisy keys. Read this for more info.
