I just bought PD9 after about 5 days using the trial version. I made several projects during the trial and it contained the "Trial Version" banner for the first 5 seconds or so. OK I expected that. I "Produced" the project to file but now I still want to polish the project and re-render. I'm disappointed to find that (after purchasing the program) if I call up the project file, the first clip contains the "Trial" banner. Even if I remove the first clip, the banner is inserted in the new first clip. It even happens if I re-save the project (with a "v2" name change). It happens if I "clip" the clip at the point where the banner disappears (and remove the front stub). I really don't want to start all over. Is there an easy way to remove the "Trial" banner from projects that were made during the trial but now in full payment? HP Pavilion Elite 410f.

I don't have the answer that you want, but if it is only on the first 5 seconds, can you produce the video and then just replace that part instead of starting the whole project over? __________________________________

Hi Bill,

In previous version, this was able to be rectifed by opening the Title Desiger Room, and the Banner could be found (off screen) and deleted. Not sure if that has changed in PD9.

Jamie, that's what I call "simple but brilliant." I'll give that a try.

Cranston, I'll try your solution also, once I finish downloading and installing the Content Pack. Thanks to both of you.
