Answers.Body: <p>This might be too late, but do try out Adobe Presenter Video Express. There is a feature called - magic green screen, which will make replacing background in videos like you mentioned very simple (it's basically automatic). There is a 30-day free trial, so I guess this should work for you. Disclaimer: I work as a developer for the product.</p>
