OpenShot instead of PiTiVi

[sarvōdaya]

Oops, replying from my subscribed email address this time.

Yeah, OpenShot seems to be getting a lot of attention, but PiTiVi is doing a
much better job IMHO. Instead of trying to put out features first, they're
making sure they get the fundamentals right. In fact, I think I first
learned this from Jono: http://gnomejournal.org/article/79/pitivi

'Part of the reason PiTiVi has taken so long to mature is that Edward has
been conscious to build PiTiVi “the right way” and ensure that the
underlying infrastructure that PiTiVi is built upon is mature and stable.'

I'm personally really excited about the next release of PiTiVi. It'll have
effects and transitions and all too:

In addition, PiTiVi's work will benefit other video editors that want to use
Gstreamer, that powerful framework that powers all of Ubuntu's multimedia.
