You have lots of color spill - light from the green background is reflected onto the character. A green color key will remove shades of green, and you can see lots on the character's sleeves and fur.

It will be tough to get a good color key using just premiere's plugins. You can try some plugins from after effects; keylight has a spill surpressor, and there are some 3rd party plugins as well like key correct pro, a few others but I doubt you will get satisfactory results .

Hi thxs for the reply any other solutions ?

You might try creating a mask around the cup instead of trying to key it out.

What do you intend to replace the cup with?

If you have access to After Effects and Keylight, that is a fairly easy key to do just by using a few junk masks and some colour replacement (for your sleeves)

If your unable to do this a solid tip would be to use multiple individual keys with small amounts of colour varience, and selecting a key for a light green, another for a darker green etc, rather than trying to use one key to pull it all by increasing the varience, as it will catch other things as well.
