    I’ve been using the keylight plug-in for several green key projects. The results have been great until I started keying a scene with semi-perfect lighting (green screen, moving people). For the most part it looks good but the key leaves a white outline (you may call it an edge)around my object. I’ve been playing around with all settings for hours and now I’m getting frustrated. I guess I could mask frame by frame but this sounds too time consuming. Anyone out there who might have a solution? Thanks!

    do a rough rotoscope around the people….
    or crunch the colors so you can pull a good key, and use the keylight as a matte layer.

    Hi

    Try adding matte choker after keylight and tweak edges there – you have pretty much of a control over this – it works for me in conjunction with edge correction from keylight
