Green Screen Help

Hi. I recently created a green screen that works pretty good! It keys out good (with some messing with it) but in the end there are pixles around and on me that keep flickering. Why is this happening? I have tried everything to fix it but nothing is happening. Have any green screeners out there run into this problem before? Any help would be greatful! I can upload a video if what it looks like if you are confused or interested.
 
What software are you using? What settings?

I do all mine in Premiere Pro CC so I admit I can't really give a TON of help with other software, but there might be some common ground in there.
 
Yeah you need to let us know what program you're using before anyone can offer specific help. Sounds like you need to make a garbage matte to get those stray pixels. I use PowerDirector's default and if that doesn't work I try out the TrueBlue plug-in.
 
Dude I used to have this problem before, u just need to use DC lighting, bcz its frequency is CONSTANT unlike AC light that has SINE WAVE frequency, so light is going lighter and dimmer with frequency, the video then captures the dimmer and lighter part, this effects the GREEN SCREEN!!
Use DC Lights or those FANCY lights used by professionals
Or else SUNLIGHT is the free source :D

I am using either Premiere Pro or After Effects. I know how to do it on both, I like After Effects more.

Well otherwise, use SUNLIGHT as a Good source coming from ur WINDOW
Or else DC lights, that could be your bulb or any light connected to DC battery instead of AC power supply :D
 
So I could just buy a DC battery and run my lights off of it and it should work?
Offcoarse bcz the intensity of light depends on the frequency of the battery, DC battery have stable frequency unlike AC whose frequency is like SINE WAVE!

But I can't guarantee you, bcz I have never experimented it, I have just made researches, so I suggested u :D

Pro lights are the best of course, but you can get away with cheap lights from a hardware store if they are properly placed, and if your subjects are wearing darker clothes that don't bounce green sheen on the edges.

Here's a diagram showing proper placement:
