Why is this deleted title transition still visible?

I'm new to FCP and I'm just trying to put a simple clip together but often when I make an edit to what I've done, I get these 'phantom' artefacts hanging around.

What am I doing wrong?

That's a weird one. I've not seen that with Basic Title. Try selecting everything in your project timeline (Cmd A) and copying, then create a new project with the specs you want and paste (Cmd V). Sometimes subtle project corruption can be fixed by copying and pasting into a new project.


If that doesn't work you can try deleting FCP preferences. Hold Option and Command while launching FCP and choose Delete Preferences. It will open the default Untitled library. Re-open the library you were working on, set the Preferences back to the way you like them (disable background rendering, reset Import to Leave Files in Place, etc.) and see if the issue has been resolved.

Great! Glad it worked. Since you're new to FCP, you would probably really benefit from the go-to, free tutorials recommended here. The time spent watching will be paid back 10x.
