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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882790 Title: PiTiVi fails to render To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pitivi/+bug/882790/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
