Comment 20 for bug 882790

FYI, on pitivi 0.15.2 (installed by Ubuntu) I have seen 2 different problems causing rendering to hang, which I was able to find workarounds for:

1. Rendering hangs forever at the initial "Estimating" step. It seems this was caused by opacity being 0, as suggested above. The opacity had been set to fade to black at the end of my clip. I dragged the ending opacity upward a little, and then the problem did not occur.

2. Rendering dialog shows an estimated time which continuously increases. This happened when I accidentally had whitespace between the beginning of the timeline and my clip. After dragging all segments of my clip to the left, I could render successfully.
