what I meant was pre-compose the keyed footage (keylight set to matte, so you see a black and white image) then use that pre-comp as a matte over the original clip. Also when using just keylight, I think its best to use ‘intermediate’ (then use spill suppressor and key cleaner), as ‘final’ uses its own spill suppression features which may be whats altering your colours

not sure this would help, but I usually just key to make a b/w matte then precomp and use that to matte out the original footage and colour correct that/ refine matte etc etc. Sorry if this is no help

the refractive property of the material picks up the BG, whatever is behind it, so you would need to have the ‘green bg’ in the scene but use a tag to hide it (compositing tag in standard/physical) you will then get the glass on alpha but you will see the bg through the glass, so render it on a colour that you will want in your final comp.

you can use xpresso, specifically, the point node, feed the geo into it, change the point index to a useful point, make sure, use deformed points is on, then feed the point pos out to the position of the ‘wig’ geo.
if you ever need to attach a cloner, you can use the edge to spline plug in and clone on to the generated spline.

Doh, yer I’ve been there brother. Well, it’s good that you have made progress so good luck with the rest!

Is there anything else happening in your OM? I have tried recreating the issue but I can move either parent null successfully. I’ve attached the scene file (R20). It sounds like double transformations, I have just noticed a pose morph in the hierarchy, have you tried removing that?

i posted some screengrabs but dunno if it worked. Use the shy guy switch, it will reveal some extra layers.

ae imports Ai files/ layers, as Ai files, not shape layers. You would need to use a tool like Overlord I think it’s called. Or copy the path in Ai and paste on to a shape layer in AE
