What kind of changes you want to do the master track afterwards? If you want to cut segments away, you could make a cut and move the cut part to an empty track and delete it. Then, link all objects that come after the cut to the remaining master track (after the cut) and move them as a group to start from the right point of the master track.

I recently shot a video of a concert where I used 2 cameras. One camera was used as the master audio track and full stage view. The other camera was for taking close ups of performers. I used powerDirector 9 to edit this video. Getting the 2nd camera shots to sync up with the master track audio was VERY VERY PAINFUL and made me want to scream. You should try it sometime and see how difficult this is to do. Does anyone know a good way to do this?
I've done some vids where I sync video to separate audio or even two vids to separate audio

This is where multiple tracks come handy. Do not try to do it in one or two tracks!
I experienced the same problems with finetuning of the sync. What I found that you need to go to the beginning of the clip to fine adjust the starting point, then you can move it one step (frame?) at the time. Often the easiest point to find the sync isn't in the beginning of the clip, so it's not most convenient, but that's how it works.
So, when you have synced the main video, leave that on track one, and lock the track.
Every time you need a close-up, you just add it to the later tracks (2-...) and they'll be shown on top, but do not mess with the original sync.
If you need to add something in between, again, use a track that has nothing after the timepoint you're inserting to.
You can also split clips you have already synced and to avoid resyncing, just move the unwanted part to another track and delete it there. If you just delete it, everything that comes after it moves backwards.
I hope that helps even a little.

My system info:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/14179.page#67150
I'm using 2330a version of PD9.
Every time I try to import .mov files the system just hangs up.
Do I need to have Quicktime installed to use .mov files in PD9?

There's nothing tricky about installation?
I just donwload the file and execute it?
I have "Automatically check for software updates" ticked but apparently it hasn't done that? Do I need to register the product first?

The playback mode automation drives me fricking crazy.
After every playback, after every clik it sets automatically to "clip" mode,
and jumps to the start of clip.
This slows me down all the time, cause e.g. transitions are such a pain in the backside to make because of this.
So, s there a way to set Playback Mode to Movie (semi)permanently?

Thanks folks, I never expected so quick and helpful answers!
FredB, my bad, I only updated the drivers from windows utility, apparently it didn't work as it should.
Updated and did the changes Kevin suggested.
I abused the program as much as I could and IMO it did work much better, but I still managed to crash it once already. I don't know, it usually has to do with sped up vids, I think. I'll see how it works in the future (after reboot) and let you know.

Ok, just bought PowerDirector 9 Ultra64.
It freezes constantly (every 5 minutes), especially after I have done some work on it. Nothing spectacular, btw, just pretty basic video editing.
I have updated my graphics card drivers recently (a week ago).
Any ideas?
I attached a screenshot and here's some info on my system:
