Hi, I looked at that "how to" video, and while it showed the very basics of how to use the Chroma Key tool, he didn't bother to have good footage to start with. Not to mention he stole the program. OK, I shouldn't flame a 12 year old, maybe he will learn to be a good person some day.
I'm probbably not the most experienced user here, but I have been able to get some very good keys with Vegas 6.0d, and my HD-100. If you want a sample you can look on my site at Second Mouse Productions - Home in the videos section, look at the free the track lights video (almost at the end) I dropped in a chroma key as an afterthought to show how the lights I modified work.
Search here for lessons on keying in Vegas, there are several very good ones. If you have a well lit green or blue screen, you will be able to get good results. In case you don't find this tip in other lessons, Apply the Croma Blur Effect on your clip, then the Chroma Key Effect. Also use the eye dropper to select the color to be keyed. You can also drag over an area to select a range of colors if your screen is not perfect.
I don't think you need to purchase more software, just learn how to do it right :)
