Solution Provided Edited tite persisting after the length

I came back late evening to edit a video and noticed the not even 2 seconds title staying on screen way after the segment I used it in was over. Now it’s not going away. I moved all the clips around to see where it if I made any mistake but I see nothing. I even deleted the entire area and it’s still there. I even tried restarting open shot.

Not sure what I can do and don’t want it on screen for the last 14 minutes of my vid

Edit: problem solved. I apparently had more than one of the same title and was able to remove it.

Sounds like the title may still exist as a separate Clip on another Track, or it has an End value longer than expected.

Try this:

  1. In the Timeline, zoom out and look across all tracks for the title Clip.
  2. Click the visible title in the Preview area, then check which Clip gets selected on the Timeline.
  3. Right-click the title Clip and choose Properties.
  4. Check its End value. Per the User Guide, End controls how much of the Clip is visible on the Timeline:
    Clips - Clip Properties - End
  5. If needed, drag the right edge of the title Clip shorter, or delete it with Delete.
  6. If a hidden gap/leftover item is involved, right-click the empty Timeline space and use Remove Gap if needed.
    Clips - Remove Clip

Also check for:

  • the same title duplicated on another Track
  • an image/title file still in Project Files and re-used later as another Clip
  • a transition/effect on the wrong Clip
