I got back the chroma keys done in AE by the graphics folks and they are less noisy but the edges are less detailed especially around the hair. They look a bit more like an eroded spectramatte with a slightly softened edge. The noisy dark blue jackets are cleaner which was the biggest offender. When I said my key looked like garbage I should be kinder to BCC as I did like the hair line edges with a little matte cleanup better than the AE key but the noisy darks were just to, well noisy. Probably due to the lighting and the camera compression, I don't know what they shot on. I'll see if I can send a test key sample to Mr. Dirk to see what he can come up with.
I will say it is awesome to email about a bone head key problem and have Dirk kick out a tutorial relating to the issue. That is awesome support up there with AJA, Avid (Thanks in large part to Marianna), Tektronix and the old GVG folks.

Yes I could animatte but there were a ton of these so I wanted it all in one effect. Better yet I sent it to graphics folks.

Animatte the foreground on top of the CK layer.
Too bad there's no Primatte or Keylight for Avid…
BTW, a garbage matte is the opposite of this, used to exclude things like set elements which don't cross the key edge.

Subject: [Avid-L2] BCC 8 is there any kind of garbage matte in the chroma key or if I use multifilter?
Next to Fonts Chroma Keys are my favorite torture. Oh well I'm trying to clean up some chroma keys using BCC 8. I'm getting decent results with chroma key with multifilter adding matte cleanup to choke it a little bit. Now the edges are okay but the shirt buttons and light blue, yea light blue, shirt are reflecting some of the green and slightly keying out. If I was on a GVG switcher I'd use the forced key function and make a garbage oval wipe forcing the foreground through. I tried multi filter make alpha thinking I'd be able to draw a shape on top of the existing alpha and fill the problem key area with solid white. I can't seem to find the right combo to get this working. Is this even possible in BCC 8 using multifilters?
