Hey guys, just wondering the best way to pull a nice alpha/matte from a greenscreen still shot (from a HD source).

Magic wand doesn’t do the trick for us as I don’t think its too clean, let alone not getting into to intricate nooks and crannies or transparencies.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Eamon

Try using Select/Colour Range, using green initially. You can vary the fuzziness and should be able to select out the green screen.
