English translation:chroma key / green screen compositing
Explanation:
The general technique used to be referred to as chroma key in the TV world (or CSO by the BBC!) — however, as your context doesn't specify if this is actually TV broadcasting, or some other field, it might be safer to use the more long-winded generic term.

Note that 'chroma key' can be dione using any colour, so it doesn't specifically render the 'green' part — however, I would imagine that is of minor importance, in your context.

Reference information:
"Sanctuary is filmed almost entirely using the green screen technique. Unlike many other shows, elaborate sets are not built for the scenes to be filmed; instead, they are created using CGI technology. "
