Pitivi is nice for little home movies, but it is NOT an industrial 
strength NLE and I think it would do more harm to itself than good if it 
tried to be. It will keep Joe User very happy, but not the prosumer 
crowd. And trying to give Cinelerra to those people is just 
embarrassing. Its about as stable as win98 and kludgey as hell.
