not sure if this will help you, I haven't looked at it yet. But if you google Blender Greenscreen, you get a ton of hits.

Yeah i have the much but instead of adding a background there I would like to do it in the video ediiting layout so that i can have the back ground change every so often but thanks for the help

What you can do is have your composited footage in one scene, then on a new one, add a "Scene" clip of the first one to the new scene with your timeline. If you need specifics or screenshots, let me know, but I used it in a project before and I know it works!

Ok so this was my solution. I exported the composited video as a MPEG with the presets of quicktime video and QT animation as the codec. Then set color mode to rgba so you export a video with an aplha chanell. Then simplt drag and drop it in to the video sequencer

You can do it that way, too, but of course it requires you to render twice and you lose a bit of video quality when doing so.

you are right

You have to be careful and triple-check that you have compositor footage in one scene, and have the clip reference the first scene in another. When you switch the interface from "Compositing" to "Video Editing" it will also change which scene you were on. Then make sure you're rendering the scene with the sequencer.
