Create a Color Matte (right-click in Project window, New Item -> Color Matte..) - you'll be prompted for the color after hitting Ok. Then drag the matte to your timeline and make it the bottom-most track.

Hello. I'm also searching for a solution to this but i don't want to use color matte because i will have this background on the entire video and one sequence line will be ocupied only with color matte white. I thought there might be a solution like the one in Photoshop to change de default background from black to white, grey or any color you'd like.

No, MULTIDIMENSION,

You can use a color matte. You can also use an enlarged rectangle that is white. You cannot change the background of the Program Monitor to white. Sorry.

Thanks,
Kevin

Please be so kind and send me a screenshot of the first step and where exactly I have to "right-click". Sorry, I am quite new to Premiere Pro. Thanks so much!
