Ditto that Eric. You have to watch the rotobrush key spans pretty carefully. That was a big problem on a previous job. But now come to think of it we used a lot of keylight on that project as well.

Mike, I typically pull the key with keylight, set output as a matte, duplicate the layer and use it as a luma matte. This kills most noise and chatter. Maybe it would help with your frame issues?

Knock on wood....never experienced that!  I have however had a similar experience with the ROTO tool screwing up the first and last frame for some reason.

anybody else experience this? first frame won't key out. soloing the layer shows it's keyed properly & starting at second frame it looks fine - i deleted effect and reset, same thing. nothing hidden below (like a green layer) - weird!

i split the clip into layers using magnum script. also getting phantom masks but i think that might be because i went a bit copymask2layer crazy.
