I imported as slideshow. Worked like a charm.

Is the camera moving or locked down?

The idea is to have the blue markers in the top (matte layer) pure black in the Alpha view, and the subject pure white (except for edges.)
Solo the top layer again – turning off the track matte on the layer below first, then mouse over the comp window (in Alpha Channel View) and watch the info palette. The background area and the markers should read 0 – pure black, and the subject 255 – pure white. If you aren’t getting these values you can add a levels adjustment to the matte layer, and push the outer triangles in until you have pure black and pure white.
Then unsolo the layer, turn it off, turn the alpha track matte back on for the layer below, and switch back to RGB view in the comp window.Joey Foreman

Try turning off color management. Then click the checkbox by Use Legacy After Effects Quicktime Gamma Adjustments.

No blue in your subject, right? Give this a shot. Key the greenscreen, but lose the keylight for blue. Now duplicate the layer. On the top layer copy, delete keylight, and apply a Hue/Saturation effect. Switch this to blue channel. Now apply a Shift Channels effect. Solo this layer and change the comp view to alpha.
Now on the shift channels effect switch everything to Red. Now on the Hue/Saturation effect boost the blue saturation and decrease the blue lightness until the markers have vanished – turned pure black – in the comp window alpha view.
Unsolo this layer and turn on the Alpha Track Matte for the layer below. Switch the comp window back to RGB.

Got a video camera? Why not spraypaint what you want with black paint onto a large white piece of posterboard? Bring this into AE, invert it , and use it as a luma matte for the transition.

Have you tried exporting as a .psd or .tif sequence? I don’t use .png very often so I’m not sure what sort of color profile issues it might have.

Do as above, then precompose the text layer and the texture layer. Now you can apply shadows and any color adjustments.
Do the same for another text layer and texture layer.Joey Foreman

I’ve had no problems with it. I think the consensus is that it’s fine now.
