Bug #609792 strikes back with another variant. Actually I think it's been there all along but masked by the other bug.

A black frame sometimes appears between some clips (snapped together, not crossfaded or anything). This might be project-specific, so attaching a project file in case there's something wrong in it.

As of today with gst jhbuild and pitivi git, the attachment project in bug #609792 (http://jeff.ecchi.ca/public/pitivi-transition-black-frame.tar) has the following symptoms:
- no problems on playback
- rendered output file has a black frame right after the transition

This is happening for me *with* crossfading
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-05-26 20:32:27 UTC
This seems to depend on the position of the clips relative to each other. By crossfading two clips like so (X is the crossfade):

[A clip       |X|     B clip ]


I noticed that if I drag B towards A for the "in" point of B to reach a particular position in A, I get the black frame... but then if I change a little bit the length of the crossfade (by dragging B to the right), then no problem.

It's as if it was having a problem with framerates not clamping to each other or something.

Haven't seen this anymore in the GES series. Hopefully gone for good.
