Video collections . video pauses ??

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm having "issues" with Window Movie Maker. Frequently when I split a
particular segment in 2, then the second movie clip will render a thumbnail
from content that is NOT at the start of the clip. It will then play the
audio with the video "on pause" until it reaches the point from which the
thumbnail is rendered. the video then "picks-up" and play for the remainder
of the clip.

This behaviour will exhibit itself whether I play the entire project (the
clip within the project will behave this way), or if I play the individual
clip from the collections.

Any ideas on this??

Thank you!!

The clip is likely either corrupt or it is an MPEG which causes all kinds of
strange things to happen. If it isn't MPEG you could try opening it in
Windows Media Encoder to reindex the file and see if it works then.

Would it become corrupt just from breaking into smaller clips? I have clips
that ran fine until I broke them smaller- and now the picture freezes while
the audio keeps going. Very annoying!!
I have a string of clips already assembled- must I now delete t hem and try
again? I hadn't realized the issue at first.

Splitting the clip wouldn't have "corrupted" it but if there was an indexing
problem to begin with then splitting may have caused the problem, I don't
know for certain, so using Media Encoder to reindex the file should fix the
problem.
You may or may not have to reimport and start your project over again. Since
you are fixing the source file and Movie Maker still reads that source file
when working with the clips it is likely that you will not need to rebuild
your project.
