    Have you tried adding a refine matte effect with chatter enabled and altered the smoothing ? I have had good results stabilising mattes using this. Also It may be that your keying is on the edge. I would suggest using the status of key light and alter screen gain / balance to suit to ensure you have a solid key.

    our keys looked like this when we were using 4-2-0 cameras and recording on xd-cam. if you blow up the raw footage to 400% and examine the transition between his coat and the background you’ll probably see a mess of pixels…nothing nice and smooth.

    Thank you very much.
    Refine matte worked very well.
