Cannot delete title PE15

I put a title into a section. When I moved it to the correct position it appears there was a duplicate of it underneath. I cannot delete it. It does not appear in Project Assets and I cannot find it on any layer of the timeline. It is in the wrong place.
Are there hidden layers?
How is it even there if it is not an asset?!

Ah ha!
The clip in video 1 was a freeze frame! I thought I'd just slowed the video down.
So I must have taken the freeze frame after I put in the title. I thought I'd done the title nearly last.
So the freeze frame included the title. But not the PNG, and I thought I'd done that just after the title. But who knows!

I don't know if i had the video clip selected when I took the freeze frame. Or if that would have made any difference. Anyhow a good thing to be aware of! May even be useful!
No problem putting a new freeze frame in.
Thanks so much for your very useful suggestions!
Gratefully yours, Andrea.
 


Glad we helped you find a solution, Andrea!

The "and a soccer ball" should not be there.
I cannot highlight it or move it. I can't find it in assets and it is not in any of my tracks. It looks exactly the same as the title I moved to the correct place [but it didn't move], so I assumed it is a duplicate. Can't think what I may have clicked to produce it. I deleted the title I could move, but can't do anything with this thing.
This has never happened before.

Thanks, Andrea.

Thanks for the helpful screen shot. You are right! The title is clearly not on the timeline. (Atlhough there is a PNG file. Is that just the arrow?)

 

Try rendering the timeline by clicking the Render button along the top of the timeline or by pressing your keyboard's Enter key. Does that make a difference?

Yes the PNG is the arrow. That I can move around if I want.
Tried rendering and it is still there. No different, I'm afraid!

I'm not sure how you know there's a duplicate if you can't see it on your timeline. Can you post  a screen capture?

 

It is possible you're just seeing a "ghost" of the title's original position -- which can be deleted by deleting your rendered files. But we can't say for sure without seeing your timeline.
