Creating black video You can create a clip of black video to insert in any section of your program. The black video clip is a 640 x 480 still image with a duration of four seconds. Adjust the duration by dragging either edge of the clip. To insert a clip of a different color, use a color matte. See Adding a background matte for steps on how to create a color matte. To create black video: Click the Create Item button at the bottom of the Project Window and choose Black Video from the Create Type menu. Editing Video > Creating black video |
