Just an addendum - Depending on the Primatte settings of matte density and noise reduction, sometimes the matte magic filter works.
Is there a connection between how much influence the Primatte settings have and how much influence additional filters will have?
And even better... is there a motion-based tutorial on Primatte and pulling clean keys out there? Everything I'm finding is for Shake, which, unless I'm seriously mistaken, I don't have as part of FCP Studio 2.
