Color mattes not showing in the final product

Hey everyone, just want to say that I have just recently started using premiere pro for personal use. Total noob here.

I've been working in this video for quite some while and I've had fun. This tool is really great. One problem though, when I have exported the video, both trough Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder, the color mattes I have put into the sequences do not show up in the final product. Instead what happens is the last frame of the last video plays through the length of the color matte's duration. I want to have a black/blank screen between the sketches I'm doing.

I have been trying to fix it for the past 4 days trying out new options and prefrences but nothing seems to work. Sometimes Premiere Pro even doesn't finish exporting the video and is stuck at 100%.

I'm going insane. This is my last resort trying to fix it. I am going to show this to my family next Sunday but I want it to be perfect.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 on Windows.

This is how my sequence is. The black color matte is on the top(V4).

Not sure what is what but looks like there are gaps: color matte not long enough.

Show use exactly what is what.

Hi, I made sure that there are no gaps. I noted that the color matte is on V4 (top layer).

V1 is the actual video.

V2 is videos that I am hiding.

V3 is Text

and V4 is the color Matte.

What effect(s) did you apply to the color matte?

Hi, I did not use any effects, only color matte on the sequence timeline.

Use Black Video instead of a black color matte.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the 517.40 Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi again. I have done all the options you listed. So far nothing has been the saving grace.

I think I'm gonna uninstall and reinstall Premiere Pro again.
