In the Media

• "Overall, PiTiVi is a promising application. It's a decent video editor with no frills, and intuitive to pick up. And in the tests I ran, PiTiVi was rock-solid. This isn't something to be taken for granted. Years ago I spent time editing video with Kino for various projects, and learned to save after nearly every edit or operation." -- ars technica

• rowinggolfer: Loving the git version. You guys are awesome. I was a pitivi skeptic until a couple of weeks ago, but I am using it daily to get stuff done with very few issues and a tiny learning curve (2010 02 21 at 13h15 GMT -5)
