Hi. It's been a minute since I've used PowerDirector (thus the old version) but I don't recall ever having this issue when I used it. I'm attempting to add some text (lyrics) to a video, and for some reason there seems to be duplicate or shadow of some of the titles. It's hard to explain, but the title 'flashes' for a split second and then works properly. If I move the title slightly, you can see there is something there, and if I move it back it will ask if I want to overwrite. If I do, it removes whatever is there and the problem is solved. Any ideas?

Yes, those are slivers of some older titles that got cut from the main sections. That can happen if you're wanting to split the main clip on track 1 but you haven't specifically selecting it. PD will then cut all tracks at that location, which can leave you with slivers on all the other tracks.

Keep moving a current title to cover each one of the slivers, one at a time, and then choose Overwrite to get rid of them.

I'm not sure I understand how I did it, especially since it is only a few of the many titles I added. How can I avoid this happening?

Like I said above, remember to specifically select a clip by clicking on it before you split/cut it. Otherwise PD will split all clips on all tracks at that point in the timeline. Try doing it for yourself and see what I mean.

That's the most likely reason I can think of for why you might have ended up with those tiny slivers of titles on Track 2

Okay I will give that a try to see if I can recreate the issue. Appreciate the help!
