    Im currently working on a project in which I need to key out a person shot against a green and blue screen.
    Fairly simple, however when I create my garbage mask(just with the pen tool) its area of effect is considerably more to the left of the actual mask I drew, so it affects the area outside the actual masked area.
    Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can Fix it.
    Thank you for your time.
    Nolan.

    I can’t be sure if there’s not something else happening here, but I have often experienced a problem with Keylight and masks whereby the influence of the mask appears to be off. It always happens when I add keylight AFTER the mask. Most of the time if I ‘cut’ the mask and then re-paste it, the issue is solved. If you’ve not tried this, it might be worth a go.
