Adding a colour background to your video project in Adobe Premiere Pro

Adding a colour background to your video project in Adobe Premiere Pro can be done easily by creating and using a Colour Matte.

Here’s how you can add a colour background using a Colour Matte in Premiere Pro:

Step 1: Create a Colour Matte

1. Open Premiere Pro and ensure you are in the workspace where your project is open.
2. Go to the Project Panel (usually found in the lower left corner).
3. Right-click in the Project Panel and choose New Item > Colour Matte.
4. Select the Settings for your Colour Matte:

 Video Settings: Make sure the settings match your sequence (resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, etc.). If unsure, you can usually safely match it to your sequence settings.

 Click OK.

Choose a Colour:

A colour picker will appear. Select the colour you want for your background. You can either pick a colour from the colour field, enter specific RGB, HSL, or HEX code values, or sample a colour using the eyedropper tool.

Click OK after you’ve selected your colour.

Name Your Colour Matte:

Give it a descriptive name if you plan on using multiple colours. This makes it easier to identify your project.

Click OK.

Step 2: Add the Colour Matte to Your Sequence

Drag the Colour Matte from the Project Panel to your timeline.

 Place it on the track where you want the colour background. Typically, this would be the track below your main video if you want it as a background.

 Adjust the length of the Colour Matte clip in the timeline to match the duration you need for the background.

Step 3: Edit and Position Your Colour Matte

Resize or Reposition:

If the Colour Matte doesn’t fit the frame or needs adjustment, select the clip in the timeline, go to the Effect Controls panel, and adjust the Scale or Position under the Motion settings.

Layer with Other Elements:

You can layer text, images, or other video clips over the Colour Matte by placing them on higher tracks in the timeline.

Step 4: Export or Continue Editing

Continue Editing: Add other elements or effects as needed for your project.

Export Your Video: Once you are done with your project, export it by going to File > Export > Media.

Useful Tips:

Use Colour Matte for Transitions: You can also use Colour Mattes to create transitions between clips by animating the opacity.

Custom Effects: Apply effects to the Colour Matte for more dynamic backgrounds, such as gradients by using the Ramp effect.

By following these steps, you can effectively add solid Colour backgrounds to your projects in Adobe Premiere Pro, enhancing your video’s visual appeal or emphasizing specific content.
