Q: What is a bug or issue with Pitivi that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?
- 1
  
  Fading/transparency of overlayed clips causes black video
  
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644372
  which seems to be caused by this:
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612797
  
  Which basically makes PitiVi unusable for anything other than cutting clips up and rearranging them. this single bug had been holding back all of my video projects for over a year. I love PiTiVi, and i'm committed to using it, but i can't!

  What makes the situation sub-optimal?
  Examples:
  
  I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.
  
  Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.
  
  I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
  
  Note:
  
  If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
