1. Re: Why semi-transparent ?
shooternz Feb 24, 2010 1:20 PM (in response to GESYMSB)You need to work harder to pull a better key off the b.g.
Simple as that and hopefully your BG is lit and photographed in such a way that you can achieve a decent key.

GESYMSB Feb 24, 2010 5:32 PM (in response to shooternz)Thank you for telling me nothing, but
the solution have to do with "Opacity"I just do not remember how I did it
but I had done it before, so everything
you said have nothing to do.Thanks anyway.

3. Re: Why semi-transparent ?
shooternz Feb 24, 2010 6:31 PM (in response to GESYMSB)The solution is nothing to do with the Opacity Effect.
It is everything to do with getting an OPAQUE Key.
You have not completed the key to a level that achieves this and therefore you have your bg showing thru the fg (subject) ...or what you call "semi-transparent". Basically thats a useless key
The solution remains as "pull a better key from the clip".
Sometimes you need to apply two or three key fx to the same clip or even overlay the clip and key each of them.
Use Keylight in AEFX if you need to get a seriously good key. Keying in PPRO is a bit limiting and I only use it for a quick and dirty test.

Matt Petersen Feb 24, 2010 7:56 PM (in response to GESYMSB)If you're looking for a "turn the knob this way" answer, let us know which key effect you've used, as the setting differ from effect to effect. For instance, in Chroma Key, you might have gone too far with your colour tolerance, and in Color Key your Cutoff might be awry.

5. Re: Why semi-transparent ?
GESYMSB Feb 25, 2010 5:50 AM (in response to GESYMSB)Thanks folks, I am mad because I did this but I do not know where i put
that note !
Here is a picture I created with Photoshop to ilustrate what's happens
on my Premiere Pro CS3.
Noticed the arrows pointing to lines / spots that you can
see on my body / face from the background.
You can see very clear the background trough the side of my face.
The reason I said opacity, is because I think, some where
i adjusted that, and then the front become more solid.I using the Chroma Key.
Sometimes I use the Color Key to see if I get a better result
but about the same..........
Thanks again folks.........

6. Re: Why semi-transparent ?
shooternz Feb 25, 2010 12:03 PM (in response to GESYMSB)Do you have a screen shot of the "body" before you applied the key?
Is it a still? (If so... I suggest cutting it out in Photoshop)
Whatever your note says...the solution remains the same...pull a better key.
There is no magic bullet. Work the key controls and I have previously supplied some other tips.,
Do check that you do not have stary Opacity Key frames on the clip. It does not appear so inyour scfreen grab becasue that would affect the entire image of the body. Not just the local areas.
