Keying question - Primatte + FCP - Can't seem to get a great key

Hey,

I'm new to keying/GS work so forgive me if I'm missing something.

I'm using Primatte to key out my subject, and the background is a wood (green and browns mostly). I've also got Key Correct Pro on it.

My effects chain is:Misfire, Primatte, Edge Blur, Spill Killers, Light Wrap, Colour Matcher, Looks, Levels, Desaturate, Black Restore, Broadcast Safe.

Primatte/Key Correct are great, but for some reason two things stick out:

1 - The subject looks like they have a reflection of green on the edges of their skin tones. I thought this might be the light wrap but it remains if I turn it off.
2 - The subjects often look like they have a black outline round them, like a cartoon drawing.

In the original footage neither of the above is present. The GS work was done in a studio, great lighting etc so the footage is neutral.

Any ideas what this is and what I can do to fix it? I'm doing all my keying in FCP as it was so useful and I don't know AE too well, but am concerned it will let the side down.

Cheers!,

Motion is generally regarded as a better keyer than what you can get inside FCP.

Have you tried it in there?
 
No I haven't, but I know even less about Motion than I do AE, at least in AE I can do the minimum stuff (example I did a laser beam effect in that recently) but don't know a thing about Motion so am keen to keep it in FCP if possible.
