When you combine the key shot with a background, as I did in my post a few posts back.

Ah.. I think now I know where we misunderstand each other. The composite shot you mentioned was actually the one with the blue screen (I used solid PSD colour from Photoshop) and was going to add title, subtitle etc. We only have one green sheet.
I have done another one this time with the purple solid colour, see this link:

I used videomerge for this but if you look carefully at the top left hand you will see faint fuzzy areas. I originally did 'green key screen' but the strands of hair do not look right and there was speckle around the body, contrast was not good. Videomerge seems better but then we have the fuzzy areas at the top.

I think a garbage matte would help solve your issues with fuzzy corners. But to help remove the speckle you might try using a 3 point lighting system. This would include the use of a back light. This is used to separate the subject from the background.

In PRE 15, 'garbage matte key' is not available, only Eight-point... four-point... and sixteen-point garbage matte.
Can you tell me where I can purchase back-light, or more specifically the specification I require?

Are you on a Mac? That's a very significant thing to mention.

Which is why I suggested you should let us know in my first post to you.

On the PC version of the program, there are three Garbage Mattes available among the Key effects, each of which can be used to trim off edges your greenscreen shot that too difficult to key.
