I have just moved from Filmora to PowerDirector.

I have 2 tracks with images. The images on the top track are displayed on the left hand side of the screen.

When I insert a transition between two images on the top track, the bottom track is thrown out of alignment causing picture sync issues.

Is there a particular way to insert transitions where you are working with multiple video tracks without affecting their alignment on the timeline?

When you apply a transition between 2 images then you are shortening the total time of the 2 images because the second image is overlapping the first one at the end.

You could change the transition type from overlap to cross to stop the overlap from happening.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but if you insert a transition between two images, and the transition behaviour is set to "Overlap", the allover duration changes, because the following image is moved to the left for the duration of the transition. That affects the track, where the transition is inserted.
To avoid that for still images, you can use the behaviour "Cross" instead of "Overlap", but that does not look good for video clips.
You change the behavour either in the "modify" section of the transition, or, even better, in the Preferences - Editing.
