I think you are searching for the keyer.
For blue screen you have two operators. “Keying>Discreet Keyer” or “Linear Key”.

Most of the time you work like this (basic setup):

  1. apply a “draw mask operator” to get rid of things like tripods…
  2. apply a “linear keyer” and choose your color with that pipette by holding ctrl
  3. apply a “matte controls” to remove the spill

Keying is not a one click task. Search for Chromakeying around the net.
e.g. goto wxw4.discreet.com/combustion/combustion.php?id=1101

there is a keying tutorial online, but you will need combustion 4 to do that.
