I'd much rather have "everything crashing down" than having to debug an inconsistent state where multiple *processes* run and some silently crash.. GStreamer is multithreaded, and that brings us the benefits of parallel execution without the "advantage" that you describe and that I perceive as a drawback.
Regarding hardware acceleration, a lot of work is being done by multiple industry players to bring it to GStreamer, it's indeed quite new but things are moving fast !
That's the status on freebsd : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/sho... , it's marked as NEEDINFO because we didn't yet take the time to try it out on that platform, but we of course are very interested in making Pitivi happen there as well !
Thanks for answering more kindly.
Cinelerra's development looks like it's discontinued, and Pitivi's design makes of it the most promising open source video editing application in my very humble but slightly informed opinion:)
Pitivi developer here, this kind of problems has not been reported to us, please file a bug report and come share your files on our irc, #pitivi on freenode.
Freenode is a bit flaky right now, but bugzilla is working all right:)
Where did you read Pitivi was starting from scratch ?
It has a 10 year history, is very active and based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, which is by far the most active open source multimedia framework out there !
Did you at least try the 0.9X series ? It has completelely and radically changed, and I'm not sure how calling it a piece of shit will help the discussion.
Disclaimer : I'm one of the Pitivi's developers, and I'm very excited about that campaign.
We feel like Pitivi's technological choices (being based on GStreamer), and its large community make it the most promising open source video editing application out there !
I encourage you to visit our website for that campaign at http://fundraiser.pitivi.org/ , as we've put a lot of effort into explaining all this in details !
And that's why python is only used for laying out the user interface, and all the heavy lifting is done by GStreamer and gst-editing-services. I invite you to research that;)
