It is possible to make a Range Selection on the timeline with the 2 orange triangles near the cursor line. When there is a Range Selection on the time line, the following buttons appear: Copy, Cut, Remove, Render Preview, Paste, Produce Range, Lock Range just above the time line.
See link.

I have tested the "Cut" and "Remove" buttons, and for me the function of these 2 buttons is the same: they cut away the clips between the 2 lines.

Is this normal? Why PowerDirector has 2 buttons for the same function?

Any help much appreciated.

The difference between Copy and Cut is, a Copy selection does not remove the portion of video highlighted whereas CUT removes the portion Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,
