I'm personally seriously concerned with Ubuntu shipping with PiTiVi - a video editor - when it doesn't even have transitions, effects or DV capture yet. That's like shipping GIMP without a save/export function.
I understand where PiTiVi is and where it is going and am excited for it, but this is far too early to be included in Ubuntu by default. 2010/2/9 Jeff <[email protected]>: > Hi folks.
