What is color matte in Adobe Premiere Pro?
Color matte is a feature in Adobe Premiere Pro that is used to create a new background color for a video. It is essentially a blank clip that you can apply any color to. This is particularly useful when you want to create a title screen for a video or when you want to use a specific color as a background for a certain part of your video.
To use color matte in Adobe Premiere Pro, you simply need to go to the "New Item" button in the Project Panel and select "Color Matte". A dialog box will appear where you can choose the color you want. Once you've created the color matte, you can drag it onto your timeline and adjust its duration as needed. You can also apply different effects and transitions to it just like any other clip.
