Whenever I add a flip over transition effect between two video clips in Premiere Pro, the background is grey, and I want to change to another color. Do you guys know how to do this?

    Yes. The Flip Over video transition's background color can be changed. Select the transition in the sequence and then view the Effects Control Panel. The last option for this transition, at the bottom of the available controls in the Effects Control Panel, is a "Custom" button. Click on this Custom button to open up the "Flip Over Settings" dialog that has a Fill Color option. Click on the color tile to open a color picker and choose the background color that you want.

    Like I don't see some kind of "flip over effects" anywhere on Premiere Pro. I think I need someone to do a demonstration for me.

    You don't have the transition selected ... click in the transition box, it turns white ... then you get the other options.

    Thanks for popping in, David ... and it's wonderful to learn something new!   I've only used that a couple times, and didn't realize you could open it up & modify things.
