Hi there,

I delete track 3 (Video and Audio) because I don't need it, but it keeps returning. How can I make it stay deleted?

Thanks

EDIT
This happens when I add a clip to Track 2. If I add to Track 1, then drag to Track 2, Track 3 does not reappear.

That is the default behavior of powerdirector. When that happens, I cannot access the title track without scrolling. Try this:
1. Place the cursor under track 3 and resize both the video and audio track.
2. Place the cursor under the preview window workspace and when it turns into a double headed arrow. Click and drag upward until the title track near the bottom appears.
3. Everything will stay while you are in this editing session. It may stay if you save the project , close, and open the same PD project later. I don't remember because I have many projects in progress.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks tomasc, I'll let you know later. I'm currently in the middle of a project ATM. I'm alternating between Tracks 1 & 2 about every 6 - 8 minutes, and am using Track 1 ATM.

Resizing the tracks worked. Also saving was OK. It reloaded back in OK.

Thanks again IanB
