Raw, Green Screen, After Effects workflow

Can anyone help with this, I might be using a green screen and I am trying to grip how I would do this in after effects

I am guessing
grade frame, make composition, then all the green screen stuff after that (key light) does that sound right?

You can also do it other way round and grade after vfx is completed.

Depends on your needs.

Also, if you want that extra bit of quality, you can make two copies of the footage in Resolve. Grade one to emphasize the green and contrast to make it easier to pull a great matte, and the other grade for subject matter (beauty pass). Key the green/contrasty copy, set Keylight to Show Matte, and then use that footage as a Track Matte in AE for the beauty pass footage.

No resolve here, doesnt work on my macs, how would I do it the other way around? In AE you grade one frame and then import the rest as a clip basically

You can tell AE to import the DNG files as a sequence, and then use the Camera Raw controls to non-destructively grade the footage.

Same idea still applies: use two copies of the RAW footage, one graded stong green and high-con, and another ignoring the green and graded for beauty. Use the green high-con to cut your matte, then use it as an alpha channel for the beauty pass.

cool man! I will have to get trying on this, reason I was asking is I almost done with a screen play about my experiences as a cab driver, all true stories and I was thinking about green screening the shots instead of actually driving around
