I have a very frustrating problem. I make the movie, i.e. download the clips to movie maker, edit them and add captions etc and then I save it like I would save any other Microsoft file/document but when I try to open the movie again the clips won't open. I can see that the clips are there but they have a yellow triangle and it says that the clip is lost and it cannot find it. I do not know what I am doing wrong! I just save the movie and then it says that the clips are lost and will not open. Any ideas?

Using MovieMaker 2012 build 16.4.3508.0205 & Windows 8. 

I am using the right-click "split" function to chop up a clip so I can rearrange the parts back into a desired sequence.  Frequently executing a "split" causes all of the clips to disappear, leaving a blank storyboard.  "Undo" brings it all back, but from that point on any "split" causes everything to dissapear.  This seems to happen most frequently when the storyboard contains several clips (from previous "splits" of the original).  It never happens on the first "split".  Everything else seems to work fine for me, but this splitting problem is frustrating as the only recovery seems to be to start completely over.
