Problems getting green screen to work properly in Movie Edit Premium

I'm using the latest version of Movie Edit Pro Premium. I've recorded some videos in front of a green screen and I'm experimenting with chroma key to change the backgrounds, however I just can't seem to get it to work properly. The problems range from the subjects in the video being transparent, too much of the green screen still showing, etc. I've messed about with all the faders and settings to no avail. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Yet, I can get chroma key to work perfectly in Filmora 9 (but to be honest, I prefer Magix Movie Edit, if I could only get the green screen stuff to work properly). Any suggestions how to rectify this? Thanks.

Hi

The sequence I use is:

  1. Threshold - adjust until most of the green screen is removed without taking away part of the subject
     
  2. Fade range - adjust to fine tune threshold without taking away part of the subject.
     
  3. Antispill - adjust to remove residual green in areas where it show through - see this comment for clarity.

There are a couple of assumptions:

  • the green screen background of uniform colour, and not creased or unevenly lit.
  • the Stamp green option is being used.
