Assuming that I can't redo shooting the actual footage. Is there any trick to fixing the slight green outline around the subject in front of a green screen?

I've tried intensity, but it usually just makes it looks worse and makes the subject transparent as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks

PD is not the best to Choma Key, see here has several comments on this

I've done quite well using PD and chroma-key, the trick is in the even lighting, no wrinkles in the backdrop, and of course proper clothing/color choices.
I suspect video graphics cards also may play a small role, but there is no substitute for getting the shot correct.

Again, assuming I can't redo the shots. Would you recommend After Effects?
