This is Kyle with Expert Village. And, we're going to be talking about the bars and tone some of color matte. Now, the first thing, bars and tone typically aren't used for a lot of applications. If you're doing the video for YouTube, you're not going to want to use this. But, if you want to make let's say a music video and a television station might air it, you might need to know where it's at. So, it's just basically under your title menu near the title. On the same menu, you can grab color options. Like you can put in a black color option there. So, if you want it to go something directly to a black color matte, that you want to know to make sure that it's a pure solid black. That's a good one. If you want to put in a color matte of your own color, you just go to the same menu. Pull up your color. Choose it, the one you want. Hit okay. And, you can type it red, whatever you want to call it, just so that you'll be able to find it in your menu. And then, there you go. You've got a red background. If you want to add a title to that, we've already discussed titles. But, you can real quickly just pull up your title. Type in "red." Save your options there. And, save it in your file. Make sure you always save it where you can find it again. And then, pull it in. And, there you go. You've got a very, very basic title. But, let's say you wanted to add a little bit of movement to that, some of it we're recapping a little bit here. But, you go back. Go to your motion. And, make some markers on your end points. And then, you go to the out points of the clip, and you make some more markers for the out points. You don't have to change the in points because that's where it's at. Go to the out point. Just bring up the scale a little bit. And, there you go. This is a rough version of a quick title that you can do in Adobe Premiere.
