It looks like there's a bug here.
The best workaround I can offer is to change the start time of the SECOND
clip slightly -- this seems to resolve the issue.
Typically, I just trim the FIRST frame from the clip which has the bogus
speed-up/slowdown effect. Since I'm coming out of a speed-up or slow-down
already, I don't usually notice the fact that I've trimmed a frame.
Here's one way to get the problem:
1. Import Video file into movie maker
2. Add the first clip to the timeline.
3. Split the clip into 4 parts using split button
4. Overlap 1st and 2nd clips to make fade transition
5. Add the "slow down half" effect on the 3rd clip
6. Preview the video and note that the 3rd and 4th clip BOTH have the slow
down effect, even though I've only added the effect to the third clip. <--
here's where the bug appears.
Here's the solution that works for me:
1. Select the fourth clip on the timeline (the one with the bogus slow
down
effect). On the preview monitor, select "Frame forward" once, and then
choose "split" from the preview monitor. This will create a very short (1
frame) clip on the timeline between your affected clips.
2. Zoom out the timeline and delete the short clip you just created.
3. Play the timeline now -- you should not have the "bogus" slow down
effect
anymore.
It's not a fix, but it is a workaround. Adding a transition between the
clips also seems to work, but might impact the look and feel of the video
you are trying to create.
Let me know if this helps!
