I'm trying to make about a one hour film and it requires editing
segments and then merging them into the project film. There are lots of
problems here. When inserting, removing or editing clips in storyboard,
the displayed pictures in storyboard are not whats in the clip at
that point. Some clips become truncated. Evidently, the arrangement
put in storyboard is lost when you sign off because saving the project
saves only the original capture and not the storyboard revisions. To
save the storyboard arrangement i have to save it as a movie file.
If you import the movie you saved for further revisions, the clips are
divided helter skelter making more editing a nightmare. My film now has
some missing clips, a couple truncated clips and one clip that repeats
itself twice and then appears again elsewhere in the movie.
Microsoft has a promising product here but i hope they're still working
back at the drawing board.

seems kind of unusual.... what kinds of source files are you using? if
MPEG-2, I can understand lots of weird things.

I aquire the files from my camera real fine. When I save the movie it's
the recommended format, "best quality to play on the computer". If I
save a movie file, the movie seems to be saved complete. But, when I
import a movie into collections, things get messed up. The clips are
divided and merged with others. Today I imported a movie file and whole
sections were missing. Windows XP together withe DELL computers is,
evidently, a system that can't manage large memory users correctly.
