If you brought in your real person video as a plane or billboard you can simply place the plane or billboard prop behind the 3D desk like the scene below.

I have the items you list above, plus some of my DIY via modifying some RL animated scene and props. Now, I want to be able to put live talent behind a desk. As for Adobe After Effects, after what they did with Serious Magic and CS3 which had it after they bought it, plus their attitude when I asked about getting access to what I bought ($$$$$), I won't buy, excuse me, rent anything they make or sell again. The only thing I need now is a process for placing live talent behind or even on an iClone prop.

well you could just use OBS (live stream software)which is free, has green screen capability
and use 2 stills for your set, one for background and one for desk
and buy some green fabric and a couple lights from walmart
any cell, camera or webcam will work fine


download OBS

I'm familiar with chroma keying and video overlay. I have Camtasia Studio and Hitfilm, both of which are good at that. I decided to download OBS anyway, so thank you for the link. I also have light stands, and fabric of various material and colors I got from a crafts and sewing store years back, so I'm good for the stuff you mentioned. The iClone newsroom has screens to run images and video on them, plus their own backdrop simulating an actual newsroom. I may be just be spoiled by what Serious Magic allowed me to do with live talent and animated props. I'll keep experimenting until I'm convinced it's futile, but genuinely appreciate your taking the time to drop by help.

you can use a iclone backdrop and place videos into the windows, but the difference  between the other programs and obs is
being able to do it live streaming

All you folks who reached out to help on this virtual studio thing, THANK YOU! I'm a NITWIT. What I want to do in terms of placing live talent into an animated iClone setting was staring at me in the face and shouting, "Here I am! I'm right here!" I want the live talent behind a newsroom desk. I was so hung up on the super cool futuristic backdrop room, common sense left and told me, "You're on your own, I've had it!" All I have to do is take the modified backdrop which I added hanging monitors with short video clips running in them. Save it as a looping video. Chroma key my live talent into the scene. As for the desk with its display panel running either a slide show or video clip, use the Project feature to put a green back screen on it. Then chroma key that in front the fore mentioned live talent. I should have listened more carefully when Peter mentioned the words "video layering." Camtasia Studio allows me to scale things and lengthen short shots to get just the fit I want (well, usually) so I think I got this, and Thank You folks for reaching out to a total nitwit.
