I have a clip in a project in which a video begins with "I sh..." that isnt an expletive, that is a quote. It stops short of the sentence,.

I highlit that clip, and play it and that partial sentence doesnt play. But when I play it in the timeline it does. The clip before it is a title card.

I ended up removing both the title card before it and the video clip that stunted sentence was in, but the partial setence showed iup in the next video.

I looked below the timeline to see if I had placed another video on it and I had not.

I dont want to start my entire project over, but I cant seem to edit the mystery clip because I cant find it.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

EDIT:

I saved it, turned it off and rebooted. The phantom video portion is still there.

Thanks for the reply, I deleted all the temp files as the post stated, exited and came back in and it was still there.

Open PD17 without opening any projects. You are then able to manually delete all the temporary files including the ones that gave you the problem.

I exported the entire timeline to 264, then went back and clipped it out. (I had read on that link you sent me that another poster's ghost clip didnt show up after being processed, but mine did. )

It was embedded in the title card somehow prior to the talking head video clip apparently, that was the part I had to clip.

PS I have several title cards at the first of this video, just white on black, and look really really good how sharp they stand out.
