Yes, I see the same thing as you.  I would recommend as a work-around,
you convert your .wmv files to some other codec / format, such as mp4.
The following command will convert a folder full of wmv's into mp4s
which work fine in OpenShot.

Just change the name of the folder to match your computer and video files:
find '/home/jonathan/Desktop/Videos' -iname "*.wmv" -exec ffmpeg -i {} -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -r 60 -vcodec mpeg4 -f mp4 -y -sameq {}.mp4 \;

** Changed in: openshot
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: mlt mlt-file-compatibility
** Tags removed: freeze wmv

Title:
  First seconds of wmv video freeze

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Added some wmv clips (720x480, 24frames, Microsoft Windows Media 8) to the project and timeline.
  In both (project and timeline) in every clip the video freezes for the first seconds, audio is ok.
  Also in the rendered file, every single clip was frozen at the beginning.
  The wmv clips played correctly when watched outside openshot e.g. with totem or vlc.
