Description Rodd Clarkson 2015-11-15 04:49:44 UTC

Description of problem:

I can't get PiTiVi to run for more than about 1 minute (unless I open it and do nothing).

Importing clips crashes it some times

Trying to move tracks in the time line (which seems impossible, because there's no selection arrow crashes it sometimes.

Just opening it crashes it.

Video editing on Linux is hard enough without including packages that barely start.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pitivi-0.94-5.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:

Use if for about 1 minute.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open pitivi
2. Try to do something.
3.

Actual results:

Crashes very quickly


Expected results:

Some sort of stability would be appropriate before packages are included in fedora.

Crashes and such are to be reported upstream. Downstream, nobody hears your screams.

The Pitivi folks have been working for an entire year to stabilize the thing amidst all the breakage caused by $insert_dependencies_here (gst, clutter, gtk, wayland, you name it).

0.95 (bug #1283968) should be much better.

Comment 2 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2015-11-22 14:42:13 UTC

I should also mention that what ended up packaged downstream somehow behaved differently than upstream (bug #1178168).
