Hi people....
Xcuse the newbieness of this post, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve recently shot a music clip using Varicam at 720p and have ingested the data using the DVCPROHD codec.
But I have found that I'm getting very messy keys with Keylight... the footage almost keys like DV! Very blocky edges and artifacting on the blacks. I’m thinking...would I be better off recapturing the footage as ProRes 422? Would it give me a better key? And if not that, what codec would? Any help on this matter would great..

I would go for apples intermediate codec.
It rewrites the file in seperate frames instead
of referring, like in mpeg2. and it helps a lot
to not have the artifacts your saying.
I'm not sure if you´ll have to recapture
I'd suggest you do a test of a small clip, traduced to intermediate
or captured directly in intermediate
