I currently own AE 6.0 Standard, and was wondering if there is a good method for removing a greenscreen? I also found this software for removal: www.fxhome.com anyone have experience using it?

I've heard great things about this: http://www.dvgarage.com/prod/prod.php?prod=dvmatteae.


I'd get this (http://www.trapcode.com/products_particular.html) instead of that other software.

Those two plugins should be all you need.. I'm using the tracker and stabilizer in the pro version a lot, but I use it on pretty much only on pans and sometimes on truckins in animation. So, I can't vouch for its use on live action footage where perspective is always changing. But for pans, it's an absolute time saver-100% accurate.

thanks David, dvmatte looks great and $200 cheaper than upgrading to pro plus I found the fxhome compositor very good and only $109.

Trapcode Particular is a particle system, not greenscreen extraction software.

DVMatte is a great plugin, it works really well on everything from poorly lit DV footage to professionally shot Digibeta. Easy to use, cheap and effective, what more can you ask for? Oh, and the guys at DV Garage are really cool so they deserve your money...

Sorry, I was looking at that webpage (fxhome) and saw that they listed a couple of particle features. So that's why I listed particular.
