...is when the clip starts to play...
Jeffrey,
You say “clips”.
Are they truly “video clips”? Or are they “images”?
If images, did you happen to use the “Insert Image” option in PD9’s “Title Designer”? And then use the “Insert Title” option to add text?
If so, then it’s your chosen procedure and layer management that is causing the left over “My Title” text to appear.
But… if they are indeed “video clips” in track #2, then
(as it is not possible to add text “to” a video clip “in” the same track), there is something seriously weird gong on, and I will leave you in the other member’s capable hands.
If however they are images, and were assembled as described in the questions above, then there is a fix.
What is happening is that the default My Title text is now the “bottom layer”. So when the “inserted” images fade in and out
(if you didn’t alter the default fade that happens when you insert an image in Title Designer), the default “My Title” text becomes visible at the end and start of the fades between the images.
The fix is to highlight the image(s) > Open in Title Designer
(because you chose to initially add images that way) > Click on the Modify Animation Properties tab > In the Objects list, highlight “My Title” and use the up arrow to move it to the top of the Objects list > In the preview screen, click in the text box to get the red cursor line > Use the Backspace key to delete this “My Title” text, which was hidden and became a remnant text that kept reappearing at the fades.
Next time, don’t insert images in Title Designer. It’s not necessary to do it that way.
Put your images in their own timeline track, and your text in a separate timeline track, or better yet, in the dedicated Text track. Then you won’t have this type of issue occur again, and you’ll find it much easier to manage your various bits of media, when each is relegated to it’s own track(s).
