From: WiszRobWisz on 26 Dec 2009 15:54 I have two videos that I have edited separately, and then saved as WMV files, and would now like to combine them. I imported both of them, and put them into the timeline, and they played fine, but between the end of the first vid and the beginning of the second there was a black screen for a few frames. Is there any way to get rid of this jarring black screen, and have them cut right from one to the other?

More info: "Splitting A Clip In MM2.1" Drag the video/audio clip to the Timeline. Play the video/audio by clicking the "Play" button under the view screen. You will see the Playback Indicator (vertical line) advancing across the timeline. Click the "Pause" button at the point where you wish to split and type... Ctrl+L or click the "Split" button at the bottom of the view screen. (you can also make adjustments by dragging the Playback Indicator) Make as many splits as you want and remove the unwanted clips by right click / delete. And...Movie Maker 2.1 only displays every other frame. In order to see all frames, the following info from PapaJohn may be useful: === Movie Maker 2 shows you every-other-frame when doing project editing. MM1 and Movie Maker in Vista show you each frame. It's usually not a problem when skipping over the in-between frames, but sometimes you notice a flickering frame in a clip that is a 'stray', and you can't see or cut it out. If you apply the Slow - Down - Half video effect to a clip in the timeline, you are then seeing each frame rather than every other one. You can see the problem frame and split it out. Then remove the effect from the clip to return it to normal. -- J.
