Buggy video editor pitivi (Ubuntu)

16.12.2011 12:54:51 So after a long stagnation, I finally came up with a worthy topic for an article, this time will focus on the very buggy, but interesting video editor Pitivi.
At the end of this article I will give a huge list of bugs that I encountered, and now about the merits of this editor.
For a start it makes sense to put the latest version of the editor, though it does not reduce the number of errors in the editor.

Do these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: gstreamer-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pitivi

I put the version v0.14.0, before that was v0.13.0.

Personally, I stopped after that, he started cursing at the library Gstreamer (one of its components). For me to solve this problem was just that I ran Synaptic and updated all the libraries, then Pitivi started and it appeared to the effects of video and audio. But as I understood it so happens that he suddenly takes off, so you should save the project after each step.

What attracted me so strongly in this editor?
1) It is very simple and intuitive.
2) It is so simple that they can start using without learning!
3) Supports the insertion of multiple graphic formats.
4) Full support for alpha channel (transparency) PNG

I do not like:
1) Many bugs, just a lot!
2) Lose subtitles.

So with all that he does not support subtitles, the ability to embed PNG images cover this shortage, just a graphics program (like Gimp) PNG image the size of the video and post the text in the right place, and then import that file and paste it on the right the segment.
Another convenience is the display of frames on the tape of time, it allows us to calculate the position of surface boxes, with sufficient accuracy.

As always, nothing is perfect in this world and Pitivi no exception!
Here is his list of bugs:
1) I previously handled it the same MP4 file, cut the excess and retained, then tried to use this same passage, always there are errors, some of the staff lost in the beginning, the sound is shifted. In general the video once processed it can not be reprocessed. I experimented a few days, but could only make a video when I took the original video and cut directly in the project
2) Sudden crashes, though it was once.
3) The appearance of black frames. Connected with the first point, probably
4) At the time of the tape at the highest magnification, sometimes pictures do not correspond to real and at times corresponding to the frame appears elsewhere often left at about 6 frames.
5) Poor format support.

In general, bugs so much that is almost impossible to work, but in the meantime a convenient and simple interface are very happy and I hope that over time, the authors of the program will correct any errors. I think if you fix bugs Pitivi is perfect for professional video editing is not.
