I was about to write the same!

if your software has options for high and low thresholds then keep increasing them till the pixels are gone. The options might have some other names like color tolerance or something like that, but the general idea is making the color disappear by playing with the options your software gives you

when it doubt. mask everything.

Heres a image so you can take a look at it
the first thingy to move (missing the word right now xD) changes nothing or at least nothing relevant
the second one makes it grey and does not change the black particles

i dont now how to mask so ill may ask you guys xD

thanks for trying to help me :)

well one thing would be that you're not recommended to apply chroma keyer on clips where colors are all over the place, chroma keyer is best applied to clips where 1 color is clearly separated and in great contrast from the rest.

Like the hot and sexeh Jessica Alba here


Is standing in front of a green background, so keying the green color would be easy since she's wearing black and thank goodness her skin ain't green.
So yes the main idea is to have a color that can be separated to produce a "meaningful" image

yeah i know it had a black background and it is already applied in the image

then hmm.. i'm afraid i'll be useless here Lol, if none of the 2 parameters is actually controlling the thresholds then my only conclusion would be that your software does not give you the abilities of complex keying, I wouldn't really ask anybody to ever change their softwares Lol, but yo sony vegas does it better yo so... your choice hehe

try applying a second chroma-keyer effect, this time choose the color of that black particle. (there's that tool that takes the color of wherever you click at, use that one to get the particle's color)

hmhmhmhmmhmhmhmhmhmh

a second one works but at some point not because it seems to be the same color as the entiere picture (what doesnt makes anysense -.-)
soooooooo........what about masks? :D

@Gabber If you have the keygen ill try it, it got banned on every website xD

you know what?
Ill just crop it out -.-


if you know a better solution.........GIMME IT xD

Get the program from this link, follow the boy's directions and you shall install it just fine.

thank you very much ^^ but im so used to lightworks right now, i wont change so soon......and i actually dont really like to crack programms, i mean okay they wont find out but it still feels so wrong :/

won't matter after a week from cracking.
and we can only help you (A LOT) in sony vegas, and a bit of after effects, but none of us uses lightworks :/

no you already helped me alot ;) it is enough if you say how it is descriped in vegas
