Question asked on Feb 14, 2016
When I create videos in Movie Maker, I'm realizing that it cuts a frame or two from the beginning of each separate video or clip. This may not seem like a big problem at first, but the thing is that I'm talking in all these videos, and cutting the first couple frames does make a big difference with how the video sounds. For example, take a look at this video:

You'll notice throughout the video how my voice sounds cut off at the beginning of each cut in the video. In the video open in Movie Maker, it doesn't sound this way - it's perfectly fine. But when I export the video to .mp4, some frames are clearly being deleted or silenced from the final product. It's not only cutting out frames from the beginning of each segment, but I also think it's adding extra frames to the ends of the clips, as if it shifted the clip over by a frame or two. I've had this problem before and I fixed it by updating my graphics drivers, but that didn't work this time. Also, repairing Windows Essentials through the control panel doesn't work, nor does uninstalling + reinstalling. Any ideas? And don't respond with any pre-determined suggestions that don't even make sense. Whoever replies to this, please prove yourself to be a real human being. Thanks in advance.
