Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency
more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
Removing a black or white matte

(merged into the RGB channels instead of stored in the alpha channel), you can remove
the colored background.

2 In the Effects window, expand the Keying bin and drag the Remove Matte effect to the
superimposed clip.
3 Choose a Matte Type setting.

Applying Effects
Introduction
Adobe Premiere Pro includes a variety of audio and video effects that you can apply to
clips in your video program. An effect can add a special visual or audio characteristic or
provide an unusual feature attribute. For example, an effect can alter the exposure or color
of footage, manipulate sound, distort images, or add artistic effects. You can also use
effects to rotate and animate a clip or adjust its size and position within the frame. The
intensity of an effect is determined by values that you control. Standard effects generally
affect a clip’s image quality and appearance, while Fixed effects adjust the clip’s position,
scale, and movement.
About Fixed effects
Every clip you add to the Timeline window has Fixed effects pre-applied, or built-in. Fixed
effects control the inherent properties of a clip and appear in the Effect Controls window
whenever a clip is selected. The Fixed effects include the Motion, Opacity, and Volume
effects. The Motion effect includes properties that allow you to animate, rotate, and scale
your clips or composite them with other clips. The Opacity effect allows you to create
fades and dissolves for special effects or transitions. The Volume effect controls the
volume
for all clips that contain audio.
You can adjust all of the Fixed effects in the Effect Controls window; however, the Monitor
window, Timeline window, and Audio Mixer window also provide controls that may be
easier to use. To adjust the Motion effect in the Monitor window, see “Adjusting position,
scale, rotation, and anchor point” on page 241 and “Manipulating a clip in the Program
view” on page 252. To adjust the Opacity effect in the Timeline window, see “Using the
Opacity and Volume effects” on page 242. To adjust the Volume effect in the Timeline
window or Audio Mixer, see “Adjusting gain or volume levels” on page 175.
