I think i just had similar problem, now i`m using ubuntu 14.04 and first video i was rendering was stucking on initialize render..... But i found a simple solution :)
Just close pitivi, open shell and try to type: sudo pitivi than when it opens it should be able to render (eve if i would say slow anyway). At least this one worked for me :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to pitivi in Ubuntu.

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?
