Good day= to all.

I've been using Keylight to do some green s= creen work and, basically starting from scratch, went through a number of t= utorials, including three from The Foundry for Nuke but which are applicabl= e to After Effects. All the tutorials, however, are general and don't d= eal much with pulling difficult keys, such as shots of little girls with fr= izzy hair. I've gone about as far as I can go with what I've learne= d and my results aren't very good: the hair in the transparent areas ch= atters like crazy. Fortunately I'm scaling from full HD down to 720 X 4= 05 so some of the noise becomes a minor problem. However, there is one shot= that is really not acceptable.

I'm using a pre-comped layer to create a matte for = the same layer below it, trying everything I can but still missing it. I re= alize this may be difficult to answer without seeing the project, but any t= ips anyone might want to offer would be much appreciated. (CS 6, Keylight 1= .2) Thanks in advance.
