In this video, we add a background image and a background color to your premiere pro video.  The first step is to place your videos onto the timeline.  Now, move your videos and / or images one or two spots higher in the video tracks - i.e. v2 / v3 / v4 instead of v1 / v2 / v3.  Now, drag and drop the image onto the timeline and onto track v1.  

Make sure the image is at least as large as the composition - you can increase it's size by clicking on a transform point, holding shift down, and increasing it's size.  Lastly, if you want a color background, go to your project panel, click on "new item", and then select color matte.  Select the color, drag it and drop it to the timeline underneath your videos and images.
