Chroma Key Problem in Final Cut Pro X

In the chroma keyer, I lose part of the foreground image. The keyer is fine and looks great when i enter the keyer, but the next day the mid-secton of the person in the foreground is gone and showing the background. Oddly this only appears in certain clips, not all. All were shot at the same time and in the same way with the green screen. The matte is showing a clean image with clear defined black background and white foreground. There's no gray. Using FCPX 10.5.4. Thanks for helping a FCPX rookie. An image is attached.

I did a test with the image that you posted. In my mac it keyed the green.

I can understand how it might, as Tom said, key the blue, but that does not square with the "Original" already showing the shirt keyed out.


Try a separate test as I suggested before, and tell us - does it key the blue? Do as Tom said. Does it key the green? Maybe there was a weird glitch.

I created a new project using a long clip and it was fine. Keying green. I did it twice. The first time a portion of the clip showed up with the missing chest (ha). Could this be caused by my adding the keyer to the clip twice. I did that with the other clip and have done that with others. Would that make a difference? Here are all three composite, matte and original.


Many, many thanks guys for your help. I really appreciate helping this old 67 year old trying to edit.
