  • Color matte in Adobe Premiere pro shows only in black color. Whtv color I choose

    Posted by Bathinda Helper on November 11, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    I create a new fresh project in Adobe Premiere Pro v2023 on Windows11. Click on ‘new item’ buton in Project Panel> Color Matte> Choose blue (or any) color> Ok> Give it a name. That named Color Matte is now showing in the Pr Pnl (color matte’s icon also shows to its left ok).

    I drag this color matte on highest track on the Timeline (which may be blank or having a video on track1). Now I find that it only shows in black color. I may reduce its opacity, then it becomes transparent (which is evident when I insert any video just under this track).

    I’ve tried changing colors by double clicking on the ‘Color Matte’ in PPnl also, but same results. Its behaving exactly same as if I was creating ‘Black Video’.

    Happen to solve the above said query by chance. So if there is any other proper/better solution, pls do tell me. My way goes like this:

    I just deleted the ‘media cache’ (Edit Menu> Preferences> Media Cache> Delete> Delete Unused Media Cache files’. And now I deleted the old Color Matte and created a fresh one.

    And without even restarting the program, the newly created matte worked ok.

    Hi, one of Premiere’s bugs. You should try several things to figure out what is wrong. A copy of the color matte must be in a bin, can you drag it from the bin and try to change the color and see if there is a difference? You may try resetting the window layout, resetting preferences. Restarting Premiere and even the computer. maybe copying the color matte to a new timeline. Sorry, there are too many things to try but you never know what it could be in these things before trying many alternatives.
