Compositing Mode - I've Broken My Video!

Did something really dumb and started experimenting with parent compositing mode WITHIN my project.

Does ANYONE know how I can remove Parent/Child Compositing mode from the track?

In other words, currently my Video Overlay Track is the "Parent"
The Video Track is the "Child"

I really need to remove this totally as I will not be using it (no time)

I saved last night so it's STUCK in this mode

Can anyone please help me remove it?

Thank you!

The way I use parent/child compositing mode is to look for a small icon near the track name. Initially, it looks like a blue rectangle with an arrow pointing down.
Press that, and the current track becomes a child of the track above it.
The icon also changes to be a blue rectangle with an arrow pointing up. Hit it again to "undo" the parent-child relationship.

If the icon is not visible, you may have made your track-name area too small.
Grab a handle between the track-name and the actual track-timeline, and stretch it out to show more buttons. You can also resize how tall each track is to show more information.

If you want to remove the track completely, right-click in some open-space near the track name, and select "Delete Track"

Hope that helps.

Thank you so very much. That seems to have "deactivated" the feature. I really appreciate your help today!
