Video clips doubled and overlapping

Noob here, but I just created a video using the simplified "Wizard" interface. Imported all of my clips and individually trimmed most of them. Got to the end and realized that there were more things I wanted to do than the simplified Wizard let me do, so instead of saving to a file, I chose advanced editing, which opened up my project in the normal interface. For some reason, most of my clips are now duplicated with overlap. So, for example, if I started with a video clip that was 60 seconds long and I cropped it to 30 seconds, it now shows up as two 20 second clips - both from the cropped 30 second clip. In other words, it will play the first 20 seconds, then jump back 10 seconds and play the last 20 seconds of the same clip. These are saved as 2 separate clips. This was a rather large project, so I'd REALLY like to know if there is a way to fix this other than just starting over.

Thanks in advance.

It would help to have a screenshot showing at least some detail on what your timeline looks like. Use Alt Print Screen or the Windows snipping tool (Win+Shift+S) if you have Win10, then save the image as PNG or JPG.

Thanks for sharing that. I have no experience with Auto Mode (aka Magic Movie Wizard), but when I tried using it and then choosing Advanced Editing, my timeline shows a single clip from the Theme Designer.

Double clicking on it will open the Theme Designer again, and I don't see any individual clips. Do you remember which template you used when you created this project?

I didn't actually select one, so I'm assuming it used the default, whatever that is. Basically the only transitions it inserted were between still frames and video clips.

If you didn't select anything, the default is Action and editing it in the Theme Designer looks like this:

I don't see anywhere to trim the clips though, so you must have had a different screen. By any chance did you maybe use Storyboard Mode or Slideshow Creator?
