To all:
This program drives me nuts. Despite its obvious potential, it is hopelessly
counterintuitive. Forget gee-whiz effects, and all. What I would live to do is:
(a) Move a recorded video into the program.
(b) Edit out commercials and other nuisance stuff.
(c) Save in the appropriate format.
"(b)" is the problem. Click on a point on the timeline? I do. Sometimes the
tools become active, sometimes not. I can't tell why or when. )I am a very
experienced user of AVS, Avidemux, and other simpler tools.). When active, I'd
like to click at one point in the file with the razor, click on another, and
delete the portion between. That's the way Avidemux works and most of the
simpler tools in Windows/Mac. Can I do that in pitivi?
No. The point isn't marked, but changes when I move the tool. The tools in the
Timeline bar never become active. And there isn't one blessed word in the
absolutely inadequate documentation on the subject.
The You Tube tutorials are frankly terrible. All sorts of wonderful things
about
detaching the audio file and moving video clips here and there. But not one
blasted word about the basic mechanics of edit out, which is probably where
everyone starts.
As a result, I have had this tool since at least Lucid and have never used it
once.
You guys should learn that everyone walks before they can run. Please put out
some 'See Dick run' documentation on the simplest, most basic operations before
you begin extolling all the advanced tools.

My mother used to tell me, "Elwood, in this world, you must be oh, so smart or
oh, so nice." For years I was smart. I recommend nice. You may quote me. -
