Hi:

I've put together a 5 minute slideshow with about 40 photos. They have transitions and titles that overlay the photos. There's a photo in the middle of the timeline that I want to delete. How do I delete the photo, transition and overlay title without getting screwing up the overlay titles and transitions of all the photos that follow in the timeline?

Thanks for the help.

Well, I notice that when I delete one particular still photo from in the middle of a timeline, that I choose 'Remove, fill gap, remove all clips'.

This does NOT affect all those down the line - so to speak. But it DOES affect the immediate clip. One transition needs to be reintroduced - but all those following (right AFTER I deleted) transitions still remain.

So I don't know if you can do what you are asking without affecting ANY of the remaining clips. But it doesn't seem to affect too many - just my opinion.

Select the photo and title, either by dragging a selection rectangle to touch both or click one and hold down the Ctrl key and click the other, then right-click and choose Remove, Remove and Leave Gap or press Shift+Del.

The transitions will go away too, then you can drag one or both of the remaining clip edges together across the gap.

You can also delete those two and move all the content on all tracks up to cover the gap by choosing Remove, Remove and Move All Clips or press Alt+Del. If anything goes wrong, just click undo (or Ctrl+Z).

You didn't ask, but if you have a new picture to put in place of the one you want to delete, drag it from the timeline on top of the clip you want to delete and choose Replace. It will keep the existing transitions.

There are lots of tutorials that cover basic operations like this...
