Live use of Green Screen possible?

I am a performing musician and had an idea to use green screen in a live situation while running a video behind it, injecting green screen content into the video as I perform. Does anyone know if this is possible with Vegas Movie studio 6 Platinum? If so, how is it done on the software side of things.

I realize that I could do a prepared video with the "Live" portion already done and "Lip-sync" but I would like to stay away from that if possible.

Or if it's not possible with Movie Studio, maybe someone knows of another way or other software to do this without dumping a ton of cash? That would be appreciated also.

As far as I know, it is not possible to use a live video feed into Vegas MS to do what you are looking at.

I think that the best bet is to use a Video Switch to accomplish what you are looking for. I have been looking at one of these on E-bay and you would need to pay around $500 for one of those used.

The video switch will work with live video feeds from a variety of sources and I think that "green screen" can be accomplished with it.
