Description 100domicil 2011-10-06 09:26:47 UTC 
I deleted a clip from my hdd then tried to open my project which was using this clip. Pitivi asked my where to find this clip. As I could only answer 'cancel' the project couldn't open anymore.
It should be tolerant to this kind of erros !
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-10-06 13:58:15 UTC 
Indeed, it's kind of an edge case but pitivi should definitely account for it.
Comment 2 Stéphane Maniaci 2011-10-07 19:35:51 UTC 
This is an easy fix if the clip is just in the library, but what happens if it's on the timeline? Simply delete from the timeline? Show a placeholder?

Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-10-07 22:45:55 UTC 
Well if the user conciously chose to say "this clip has been deleted, it does not exist, there is no replacement" then we could simply delete it from the timeline completely...
Comment 5 100domicil 2011-10-13 09:51:26 UTC 
yes that's a good and, I guess, easy solution.
Or you could create a 'dummy' clip that will show on the timeline where is the missing clip ?
Comment 6 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-07-14 22:19:38 UTC 
For the record, I'm somewhat thinking that this could be made unnecessary when we implement proxy editing... a proxy editing system would certainly need to handle failures, and have a UI for dealing with replacements. And if so, then the user can choose to replace the clip by himself or to delete it from the project...
