I hope you did not take my comment as criticism – just to make clear – I love PiTiVi and the fact you want to take the time to make a quality product. I work in the financial management consulting and in the development of financial management applications and know how important good solid code is.

My whole comment about application integration is applicable to the Linux desktop in general and I agree Gnome/KDE need to provide that framework to make it easier for application developers to include this capability in their software.

Thanks again for all you do.

@d0od : hopefully no harm done. No need to defend yourself if you have done nothing wrong.

@Ben Foote, Tobias, nemolivier, antistress : I merged my videomixing branch to git master a few days back, which brings generic transparency/mixing support to PiTiVi. There’s still some bugs to flatten out… but basically it works. Will do a screencast of it soon.

@Stephane Delcroix : … man… you totally made my day back then Merci

@Vadim : I’m 100% fine with criticism, comments, feedback, etc.. I do on the other hand totally despise having “ sucks” which is childish at best since it doesn’t provide the author/developer with anything to base themselves on.

@prokoudine: no need to put more oil on a fire which never was there All is good.

@Jimy: color correction comes just after videomixing/overlay/transitions in the todo list

@AllDayInVirginia: Integration between the various applications you mentionned comes down to solving one problem which imho is critical : Content Management. We need a system to be able to manage all this content (Audio/Video/Photo/Text/..) which is available on your computer… and also remotely. It’s a tough problem imho. But still… you can drag-and-drop your photos/music into pitivi… so it’s a start.

@Allen: 0.10.3 is definitely no longer supported. You might want to try debian experimental (latest pitivi/gstreamer is always updated there within 24hours of releases). If you get 0.13.3 installed and you still have problems, you should file a bug on the pitivi bugtracker and not here (where it will get lost).

And for everybody.. I just dug out a photo from the pitivi t-shirt from 2007… my feeling hasn’t changed http://people.collabora.co.uk/~edward/PiTiVi-tshirt.jpg

Thanks to all for your feedback, let’s make PiTiVi rock even more !

I installed Kubuntu 9.10 and installed PiTiVi 0.13.3 from Ubuntu repositories. It also would not run.
I googled with the error messages. Many folks had the same problem. No answers on how to correct.

I really want a simple, easy to use video editing program.
No criticism intended. I could not write a video editing program if my life depended on it.

PiTiVi is rock solid and integrates very well into the Gnome desktop. So I must echo a strong appreciation for all the hard work done on PiTiVi and I do look forward to the new feature when they are ready.

I will give a plus1 on trying to create some integration between PiTiVi, Banshee, and F-Spot to create an awesome suite of tools home users will use every day.

thanks for your work

“I’m not out to distort or needlessly detract from the hardwork that goes into an application or its development, which is slightly the taste you’re leaving in peoples’ mouths.”

Wasn’t it you who wrote “PiTiVi sucks”, eh? So after a calm response to your rant you suddenly pretend to be a nice guy? Man, if you really want to be a good journalist, learn basic skills like critical review of your own stuff before clicking “Publish” button.

(like fspot, but with less features).

I do love it.
