How to change color of program monitor work area in Premiere Pro?

Hi everyone!

I'm new to Premiere Pro. 

I am working with a black colored image. As the color of the program monitor window is also dark/black, I'm not able to see where my image starts and ends. 

 

How do I change the color of the program monitor window from dark/black to white or grey? (I'm not talking about the color of the image that I'm working with.)

 

Thank you.

Hi there,

If you're on a recent version of Premiere Pro, you can change the color theme to a lighter color by going to Edit > Preferences > Appearance (Premiere Pro > Settings > Appearance in macOS). Here's an article for more details: https://adobe.ly/40S6HtK.

 

Thanks,

Go under the wrench menu and turn on the Transparency Grid as that offers a different background.

You can put a colored matte on a video track below the other video tracks.  Then turn off its visibility before exporting.

You can also use the transparency grid:
