Install Pitivi 0.96 on Ubuntu 16.04 via Apt-Get command and Flatpak package. Pitivi is an open source video editor for Linux Ubuntu. Pitivi 0.96 brings Proxy editing: fast and accurate editing with any video format.
PiTiVi 0.96 brings Proxy editing, a fast and accurate editing method that works with any video format. Besides the usual cleanup and bug squashing, this release brings a fundamental feature which greatly improves the edit experience. Now you can edit and render a video project with any video files with great accuracy, thanks to proxy files.
The whitelist below shows the formats we officially support—which can be used safely without proxying them. At the moment, the whitelist is comprised of the following:
- Containers: QuickTime, Ogg, Matroska, WebM
- Video codecs: H.264, MJPEG, VP8, Theora, raw
- Audio codecs: Opus, MP3, Vorbis, FLAC, raw
The new release comes with a brand new keyboard shortcuts window built dynamically, to be able to support custom shortcuts. Next will be allowing users to customize the keyboard shortcuts.
Other noteworthy changes
- The user manual has been updated to reflect the changes since we switched to the headerbar, about one year and a half ago.
- The undo/redo removal has been undone.
- We switched from AppImage to Flatpak to distribute our own builds. A big advantage is that due to Flatpak’s sandboxing we can use it for the development environment while previously we needed a separate complex script to take care of that.
