Whenever I key out the background color the person gets partly see-through? Why is this and how can I fix it?

[tubetape]

@usonutube2011 Most likely what is happening, is you are getting green spill on your subjects when you are shooting the actual footage. Meaning, the green or blue screen you are using is reflecting back onto your subjects. This is easily remedied by placing your subjects further away from the greenscreen. You can try masking it out in post, but it may be difficult to get all that green out.

when I do this, my face gets green... Can somebody help me pleaaase??

[tubetape]

@MrDirty911 You might be a little too close to the greenscreen during filming, which will cause "greenspill" and be extremely difficult to key out.

i really need help, i am making a project but i am filming then having parts of a green screen in my filming, when i use the chroma key some parts just go black and the whole footage changes. My teacher said to try to cut out some of the light but i have no idea how or why this is happening. PLEASE HELP!
