I understand. Media viewers and websites will automatically loop a GIF endlessly, but if you want to create a video that looks like that and plays for an hour, you'll have to use multiple copies. I know it sound tedious but it actually will only take a minute or two to set up.
PD doesn't have any kind of a "play x number of times" tool or setting, although the Action Camera tool has a feature that will loop specific sections (and slow them down, play them in reverese, zoom in, etc.), but it's limited to only a couple of repititions.
You can tell Cyberlink that you'd like to see them add a feature like that by going to File > Rate Us & Send Feedback. They don't normally monitor this user forum so that's the best way to make sure your request is seen by the right people.
ok I did this. Is there any solution to stop it looking like the gif stops for a split
second on each copy and the restarts. It is definitely noticeable unfortunately.

Simply paste as many copies of the clip as you need. If the GIF runs for 10 seconds, you'll need 6 copies per minute and a total of 360 copies for an hour.
If it were me, I'd make the first minute's worth and then copy all those clips and paste them 60x.
To do it even quicker I'd paste that first minute 10x or 20x then copy that whole section and paste that 6x or 3x, respectively. If you lose track, just stop pasting when the clips reach the 1:00:00 point on the timeline counter
With all due respect that seems kind of ridiculous. Isn't there a way to loop video clip or to designate its frame repetition somehow. You say it all the time on videos with an animated picture of it loops over and over again maybe in PowerDirector there is no feature to do this but I would really like to request it If it isn't there.

I don't think there's any other way to return to the beginning, but you can click on the settings icon and go to Tutorials & Tips to learn more.
Also there's a brand new version out with a new user interface, so make sure you've updated to v9.0.0.
Thanks. That would br a useful feature to add wouldn't you think? Where best do I submit suggestions that will get read?

I'm not sure what's going on. What happens if you place a different clip on the timeline, and do NOT let the app convert your clip for better editing performance? Also try creating a new project and importing that same clip and see if you still see the wrong content.
Also is there a button that returns me to the very beginning so I do not need to manually scroll back each time?

In reference to my question, please see image attachment. Q: Why is the video clip in the timeline editor different than what is playing? This is happening repeatedly. Very confusing when editing. What is going on?

Well I also flubbed this answer because I responded as if you had the desktop version of PD rather than the PD Mobile app. Sorry about that!
I have the Android mobile version and don't see any way to delete an entire track. Unlike the desktop version, you can't select multiple clips at once so you'll have to click on each clip and delete them one at a time.
Maybe other users will have a better answer, but in the meantime you may want to let Cyberlink know that you'd like to be able to delete an entire track in a future version.
In the Android version, there's a tool under settings called FAQ & Send Feedback and I imagine there's a similar option in your version. I'm told the developers don't typically read forum posts, so using the in-app feedback tool will get the info to the right people.
Sounds good!

If all objects on your timeline are on that single track, you can tyep Ctrl+A to select them all, then hit the Del key.
If you have more than one track, the easiest way to select all objects on a single track is to click on the first or last clip, then hold down the Shift key and click on the clip at the other end to select everything in between then delte them. Just like you'd do in Word or any other Windows app.
I probably should have mentioned I am using an IPhone 6s. There is no control key.
