Keying Advice
by Caleb Armstrong on Mar 27, 2008 at 3:57:09 pm

I received some footage that a project manager wants keyed out. It's DVCPro 25, standard definition, and the studio that it was captured in uses SDI. It's not a lot of footage, five minutes at the most.



I can't seem to get a clean key off this guy. He moves around a little, the camera zooms out to a wide shot at one point and there are some shadows. Using keylight I seem to get a good matte, but his jacket is dancing alot and I've got really aliased edges around him. I've played with matte chokers and blurs and followed the advice from the tutorials here and on Video Copilot and I just can't seem to get this guy cleaned up.

From Final Cut, what would be a good codec to export into AE, and then back into final cut for editing? Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
