I've found the trick with movie maker when it claims to be crashing is just to be patient and quite often it'll sort itself out. Also, if it does crash, nine times out of ten, it'll ask you if you want to retrieve your work when you restart it (having autosaved it). Then again, this could just be *my* WMM considering it's precarious nature.
Re: Really precise editing...it's harder because you can't only cut frames in chunks of either four or seven (depending on your edition), and it's also a little...slippy? Um...as in, what you think your last frame is, isn't always your last frame. So a lot of it is trial and error, rendering and seeing how it plays as a finished movie (which is why it's good to render partially done movies just to see.) Basically, when you can't shave off a single frame, it just means being fiddly - adding *more* to the end of a clip so you can shave off *more* frames, but still cumulatively end up with one fewer. If that even begins to make sense. But yes, I begin to understand your confusion.
So I would like to submit ANOTHER reason Britain beats Australia.
Britain has me, and if you lived here, you could come around and we could geek out and I could help you with WMM issues! We could have vidding geek outs!
Oh, and also, score for Plymouth - I now know where the artsy cinema is. Yay me!
