Green Screen Help please

I've done a few green screen shoots with reasonable success, but am currently having trouble getting a clean key.

If anyone has a bit of time, I've put three stills on Dropbox:

Pick any one and see if you can get a satisfactory key. If so, please tell me how!

Thanks for any takers.

Hey redpaw, that's so much better than what I'd been able to do!

And thanks for the .veg - I really appreciate that.

Thanks again redpaw, you have saved my bacon, to coin an old Danish expression.

When you DO have time, I'd love to hear how you step through your Chroma Keying - the Colour Correction / changes in saturation seem to help so much.

Cheers

I use Hitfilm Express 2 for keying. Here's a render using one of your images. It has some color grading as well as the key...

Wow, jdw ... your chromakey result is way better than I got with HF on that image.

If you've still got the project for that test, I would appreciate it so much if you could post the settings that you used in HF's chromakeyer so that I, and probably others, can try it ourselves. I'd really like to improve my chromakey skills.

Many thanks

Conrad

jdw, that is also a very good result

Like Dexcon I'd love to know how you went about it.

I typically will just start with the chromakey preset (in the 2d folder) and tweak as needed. But, here's a link to the Hitfilm project file. The media isn't included, but you should have the original "deb" jpg. You can use any image for the background.

DaVinci Resolve is excellent and would key those stills easily. Resolve does fly-away hair.
