Picture in Picture with Greenscreen possible?

Sup!

So.. let's say I'm doing a news report and basically I have someone filmed in the bottom right of a green screen. Then I'm going to superimpose that footage with a movie clip running behind them. Then I want a completely separate movie clip(picture in picture effect) to be to the left of them in a small box. Is this possible?

Take away the green screen part and the picture in picture effect works perfectly by dragging a clip on top of another clip and clicking PICTURE IN PICTURE. If a green screen effect is already added it doesn't let me use the PICTURE IN PICTURE effect.

This is my dilemma.

Help!

Thanks

it's Green-Screen OR pic-in-pic ...-

what you can do:
• create as an individual 'project' your green-screen scenery.
• choose Share/Export with Quicktime, and Option/Codec: AppleIntermediate.
• re-import newly generated mov into your EventsLib and into your Main Project, add PIP-effect.
