The problem you're hitting is that most of PiTiVi's code is
asynchronous. Therefore you can't just 'add' random stuff to a
timeline/project like you're doing.
The best for this would be to create your own playlist or EDL format
as mentionned in the other thread. I'll push to have the 'formatter'
branch merged this week, and might take up the task of writing this
simple format parser.

ProjectSaver is dead, the new technique to load/save projects is
the 'Formatter'.
