I don't know if you're on a mac or not, but from geethree.com, they have software that can do it. I don't know if they have PC version, but it is inexpensive. I still haven't tried mine yet, however.

There's a simple "freeware" blue screen program available called Blue Screen of Life. You can get all info about it here. I haven't used it, but maybe it would work for you.

Otherwise, I usually recommend Adobe After Effects, but that costs several hundred dollars. Many video editing programs also have some sort of basic chromakey feature built in.
