Hi bdrowns3,
Just chiming in to agree, as HalCon nailed it!
The…
1 - Right click the section to remove and select 'Remove and Leave Gap'.
2 - Drag the clip to be removed to another track then delete.
…are the 2 most important options/tools you have in PD9, when editing within a track that is populated with other media. PD9 is very different than PD8 in that respect.
Edit: Are you on PD9 build 2930 or later? If so Remove Leave Gap should be there in the rightclick menu. http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/powerdirector/patches_en_US.html
Link/Un-Link All Tracks in Preferences, is only for controlling the shifting of media in adjacent tracks.
