FYI, on pitivi 0.15.2 (installed by Ubuntu) I have seen 2 different problems causing rendering to hang, which I was able to find workarounds for:
1. Rendering hangs forever at the initial "Estimating" step. It seems this was caused by opacity being 0, as suggested above. The opacity had been set to fade to black at the end of my clip. I dragged the ending opacity upward a little, and then the problem did not occur. 2. Rendering dialog shows an estimated time which continuously increases. This happened when I accidentally had whitespace between the beginning of the timeline and my clip. After dragging all segments of my clip to the left, I could render successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pitivi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882790 Title: PiTiVi fails to render Status in PiTiVi , Non-linear video editor: Confirmed Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “pitivi” package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: I have a project that was rendering just fine and needed to make some modifications. I took out the last clip and threw in another one and adjusted some of the audio gain lines. Everything played fine in the preview window. When I go to export now, as it starts estimating time to completion, the time bloats and never starts exporting (by the time I hit cancel it was telling me it was going to take 330 hours or something to finish rendering). I've tried several times now, restarted the application and everything, and am still getting the same behavior. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to get around the issue?
