Better Chroma Keying

[Amadou]

We have a difficult Chroma Keying Job. We don't use After Effects but Premiere CS5. Does anybody know if there are plug ins to improve Chroma Keying in Premiere CS5 or as standalone?

Are you using Ultra Key? That comes with CS5. You can also try Primatte Keyer from Red Giant Software

If you cant key it wih Ultra Key which is better than adequate keyer ...take it into After Effects and work really hard with all the extra tools at your disposal.

There is no magic bullet to keying except good shooting technique in the first instance.

Want to post a frame grab so we know what you are dealing with.

Yep, posting a screengrab of your footage will help a lot.

Good screen photography is even more imperative when you only have Premiere, since After Effects can do a lot to compensate for problematic green screening.
