Pitivi 0.91 "Charming Defects"
And so it has come to this. A few days ago, we stealthily published the tarball of the first Pitivi video editor release based on the GES engine. Incredible but true! 0.91 is finally out! In case you were living under a rock for the past two years, this release is the result of a…

Fix it thrice
Some of you may be familiar with the good old “fix it twice” adage: fix the problem and then ensure it never happens again. Last year, when I made Pitivi’s automatic backup feature work, I requested someone to write extensive automated tests for it (with Dogtail), so that I could feel confident about this feature…

Prague, Brno, London, GNOME + Pitivi
Guess where I am going? To the end of the world and back To that event “where nobody goes anymore”. I’m not entirely sure what’s in the air this year. I’m not talking about what’s been going on in the industry and the public perception of GNOME in various circles, that might not be the…

PiTiVi and the 2013 Summer of Code
This year will be a little bit different. In a rather unexpected turn of events, PiTiVi has been accepted as a mentoring organization but GStreamer has not. Fear not however, as GStreamer has no better ally than the PiTiVi team when it comes to pushing our favorite multimedia framework to its limits and beyond. As…

GStreamer Hackfest 2013: Moving Images
I’m back from this year’s GStreamer hackfest, which was fantastic as usual — an intersection of great minds, big challenges, flaky Wi-Fi and good food. Christian already did a generic summary, so I’ll be narrating from the GNonLin/GES/PiTiVi perspective. See the end of this blog post for a nice video retrospective. Edward provided an initial…

PiTiVi status update for Q1 2013
Time for a little report on recent improvements in Pitivi. Nothing earth-shattering to make you drool with envy; just a lot of fixes, cleanup and improvements to small details.
