How do I successfully do this? No matter what I do it seems there is a green outline and sometimes it isn't very smooth either.

The problem may have more to do with how you shot the footage than a post-production problem.

I learned the hard (and expensive) way that it isn't as simple as buying a green screen and posing a model or shooting a scene in front of it. Why is this always harder and more technical than it seems like it should be? (lol)

I finally bought a training CD and played around with different set ups and settings until I could shoot without the models picking up a reflection from the green screen and light reflectors.

Software can knock out the background best when there is contrast between the performers and the screen. If the screen color reflects onto their skin or hair, you are asking the software to do too much.

a) Don't use premiere for greenscreen work... its pretty basic and mostly useless. Either go with After Effects or Ultra 2.

b) How was the greenscreen shot? Was it 100% evenly lit? If not, good luck. Greenscreen work is a very precise task to perform. I recommend you go to the Creative Cow forums or something along those lines to learn more about greenscreening. Remember, google is your friend.

Your background is also critical. There are of course specific backdrops you can buy, and they also have a paint for it. Ive only done a few experiments with it, but this was back on adobe 5.5 or something long time ago.
