Hasta La Motion!

I don’t know if I’m alone on this one, but I always run into Chatter on my secondary masks.
For example, I used a keyer to change a shirt color.. The shirt area was filled completely white and I added a blur to soften the mask area.
When I looked at the results, I would get a lot of noise chatter from the mask.
Most of the time a blur node does the trick but some times it doesn’t.

I was wondering how you guys handle this type of chatter problem.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
lou

is there a reason. ive never used it before an im trying to test it out and i cant get anywhere its so frustrating ??~!!
