  I want to create a solid color "video" segment in my overall video. In iMovie I can add it by [importing a background](https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/26353/how-to-choose-a-custom-solid-background-color-in-imovie). I don't see any such feature in Premiere Pro.
  
  How do I add a black (or other color) solid color background to my timeline?
