Thank you, Hatti.
I have seen some of them and will pursue your suggestions.
What I am missing is an explanation of how the multiple tracks come together. I guess I'll just have to work with it .
It looks funny to me to see the main video on the first timeline and then another video on the second time line, in the middle of the first one. How do those get together?
I'll keep working on it.

I need some instruction in very basic editing, but all of the online lessons (including one I paid for) have been stressing more advanced information. I am not interested in 360 degree stuff. Titles, fade, effects can all be dealt with later for my initial project.
I really just want to understand how to do some basic editing ... open the unedited video, cut out stuff I don't want and combine the desired sections into a video.
I don't understand why there have to be several tracks, if you are not using titles, etc in the initial edit. Are clips put on different tracks combined by the program?
In the past, I had a simpler program which broke the video to be edited down into "scenes". These could then be individually pulled down onto the time line, and each scene could be edited down to just what was desired, left on the timeline in edited form, and then all of the edited scenes could be combined into a final video.
I suspect something similar could be done with PowerDirector 16, but seeing the examples of various parts of the video put on different timelines is a bit confusing.
Any links to a very basic editing instruction site?
It's making me feel very stupid.
Many thanks for any advice.
Jack
