But now it seems like it appears anytime I perform a Render Preview. Worse yet, the render stays and I don't know how to undo it. One thing that works is to add a new track above Number 1 (I'll call it Track 0) and place any still photo whose duration is as long as the pre-rendered part. Track 1 overrides Track 0, so you only see Track 1, but the Render Preview portion and its green line above is removed, which results in normal, jerk-free playback.
What on earth is going on?
