Green Screen

At the site listed above you will find a 32 second snapshot of a video of me in front of a green screen. My problem is that the tie died background extends beyond my image. I want the background to end at the straightedge of my left shoulder.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Gerry

you can fix it in post. Just go to pan/crop and expand the frame slightly until the thin line of the bg is gone.

Using pan/crop to pull that would be easy enough, but perhaps you've already done this with funky settings.

What does your original greenscreen footage look like, pre-chroma key?

Don't you have a few columns of pixels to the right of your body?

It could also be as simple as incorrect pixel dimensions specified.

Could you give us your settings for the original image and for your YouTube render?

It looks like your aspect is off. Like you shot in HD but the project is DV Widescreen. Just open Pan/Crop on the green screen footage and right-click on the Frame and select Match Output Aspect and the gap should go away.
