Answer 1

Do you mean replave the white background with a video? please answer to this question I have done both clay animations and green screen many times, I will most likely know the answer

Can you tell me what program your using to do this?

Answer 2

You'll need some kind of program that'll allow you to chroma key (or, in this case, it's really more of a luma key if it's all white) the background out, and composite in the desired footage.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluescreen

If you don't mind processing each photo, rather than processing the resulting video file, you could replace the background a number of ways in Photoshop - be it through tweaking layer blend modes to pass the lower layer through the white areas, or by selecting and removing the white background with masking tools - revealing a frame of your choice in the layer underneath.

If this all sounds overly technical, you may need to get your hands a little dirty and poke around a few sites for supplemental info. It's not rocket science, though. If you want to get it done, it can be done - and once you know how, it's fairly easy.

You're on the right track by asking the question, don't be afraid to read up on it - the better you understand it, the better your results will be.

Good luck!
