Hi, I'm really new to PowerDirector, but here's the link that will explain it to you.
Happy editing!

We're talking about different things.
FHD is 1920x1080 pixels, while 4K is 3940x2160, and you shouldn't need to use shadow files with FHD source clips unless you have a very old PC. I thought you might be working with 4K source clips and PD is known to force you into pre-rendering the timeline when trying to preview in Ultra HD resolution.
What I suggested was to reduce the preview resolution for the timeline, and the user guide is the best place to finds answers for how to do that. Here's the page for Preview Resolution.
Thanks for the info! I am totally new to PowerDirector and just starting to get things figured out. Your help is appreciated! I have a Surface Pro 7 with 8GB memory, probably not the best computer for video editing, but it seems to work okay for the most part...

You might be working with 4K clips and trying to preview them in Ultra UHD resolution. Lower that to Full HD or simply HD and you'll speed up the previewing performance and prevent the pre-rendering from happening at all.
Thanks! I recorded the original clips using the fhd setting on my Samsung Note 9. I do have PD set up to create Shadow files. Are you suggesting that I lower the preview resolution somehow? If so, how would I go about that?

That's the pre-rendered section indication. It means you used Render Preview at some point and PD is showing you where those sections are currently located on your timeline. Pre-rendering is meant to speed up the preview performance and generally is harmless and you don't need to do anything about it.
Sometimes, however, the cached (pre-rendered) versions can interfere with more recent edits you've made, and the best thing to do is to delete the temp files.
Under the Settings menu, use the Manually Delete button and select all temporary clips, delete them, and then create a new project and exit PD. This will ensure that none of your current projects will be in use when you restart PD. Now launch PD again, and make sure that there are no more temp files, then reopen your project, and the green line should be completely gone.
Thank you very much for the explanation! It makes some sense now, the green lines appeared after the movie stalled during preview. Thanks again!

I very much would imagine that it was self-inflicted... Haha! Thanks very much for your timely reply

Hello all, when editing video, I noticed a thin Green Line indicator that is specifically within the timeline ruler portion. I have no idea what this line is for, and it is driving me crazy. I have seen it shown in the CyberLink online description of the timeline ruler but I have no way of figuring out what it is. It has just appeared in random locations within the ruler. I have searched many keywords throughout the user guide, but to no avail. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated! I have attached an image of the offending line!
