How do I change the background color for the knockout effect in Final Cut Pro?

Question

How do I change the background color for the knockout effect in Final Cut Pro?

One person suggested to me before to change the video player background in the preference section. It did change the color in the preview, but once I export it. It reverts back to its original color.

I want to change the black background you see in the photo below to a white background. PERMANENTLY (meaning even after I export the video, it remains white)

It is the knockout effect: the video is playing within the text.

PLEASE HELP!!! It's has been frustrating me for a long time.

FRom the Generators browser you put one of the generators underneath the video. You can use the Custom Generator and set the color to white.
