Restoring from backups
I’m currently in Málaga for the GStreamer hackfest. Hopefully, many bugs will perish. In the meantime, here’s a quick status update of stuff I’ve been doing in recent times in Pitivi. Cleanup the code for gtk actions so that the code is more readable and robust, fixing 629208 in the process. Cleanup the menus (again). Avoid…

Spring clean-up in January
Now that we’ve gotten rid of a ton of code in Pitivi (thanks to the port to GES), Thibault has been doing an incredible job at cleaning and reorganizing the remaining source files in a way that finally makes sense. I’m very happy about this: it means that it will not only make it easier for…

Alive and kicking
I would first like to welcome Antigoni, who has been accepted as part of GWOP 2011 to work on PiTiVi. In the coming months, she will be helping Thibault fix bugs in our port to GES and, when we have a reasonably stable base to work with, implement the much awaited titling feature! She wrote an…

Spammers on a Wiki
It is no secret that the pitiwiki was the target of a large scale cyber-warfare campaign in the last few months: the amount of spam polluting the wiki history was so ridiculous it prevented me from doing any serious editing in it. During the hackfest in August, we took the time to move the wiki…

Pitivi's startup time
So, since it seems everybody’s been talking about startup time these days, I’ll admit I tend to secretly obsess over that too. Well, it’s not so secret given that I’ve blogged about profiling work on Specto and PiTiVi before… anyway. I believe you should provide your developers with the fastest computers to do the development,…

A pre-release of Pitivi is out. Please test it out and report any problems you may find, and help us make the 0.15 release (due September 26th) a great success! Among the usual round of fixed bugs, niceties of this release include a presets system for project settings and rendering settings (there’s a preset for…

Results from the hackfest
I had a fantastic week at the PiTiVi+GES hackfest and desktop summit in Berlin. Over the course of the past few days, we polished and merged some more features and bug fixes in your favorite video editor. Lubosz’s “transformation” branch has now been merged and allows insanely sexy and efficient panning/resizing/cropping of your video clips,…

Various performance and usability improvements in PiTiVi
I have been attending the Desktop Summit since the opening on Saturday, and it’s been a great experience reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones. Tomorrow, the PiTiVi and GES hackfest officially begins, in room “1.308/2” (the building is at 24 Dorotheen Straße). Come join us at any time of the day (and since…

Chaos
No matter how I try to write this, it will come out wrong. I have basically no chances of improving anything at all, especially since I’m no Shakespeare. I’m good at singing the praise of contributors, but I’m terrible at handling delicate situations. I’ll still try clarifying my thoughts into this post, which I’m quite…
