Rather than binding the audio to a video clip that has audio, allow us to delete the audio, but keep the video.

Hi,
this can already be done using the ungroup (on unlink?) buttons on the timeline toolbar :)
Comment 2 coldreactive 2012-05-16 19:34:27 UTC
I pressed ungroup, then pressed delete, it still deleted the clip with the audio.
Comment 3 coldreactive 2012-05-16 19:34:53 UTC
Selecting the audio after ungrouping re-groups the clip with the audio.

screencast

Huh, does it not do this for you?
Comment 5 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-05-16 19:57:15 UTC
If it doesn't do the same as the screencast above, perhaps it's experiencing errors, see what happens when you run it from a terminal.


In any case however, PiTiVi's core is being replaced by GStreamer Editing Services. This is a major overhaul and we sadly can't investigate much bugs that occur on the "traditional" core of PiTiVi.

At the same time, I know for certain that (un)grouping has not yet been reimplemented in GES, it is in the plans for GSoC this summer.
Comment 6 coldreactive 2012-05-16 20:36:41 UTC
The screencast also shows ungrouping a split audio. I want to ungroup an entire audio (which is the same length as the video) from the video, so that the video has no audio at all. Also, when I press split, everything pretty much breaks anyway.

I wish I could screencast myself, but my GL drivers are being screwy, and I'd only be able to screencast via Windows. But since PiTiVi has no windows port (nor will ever) and I'm not willing to compile a gnome environment into Windows (Since the current versions of cygwin are extremely outdated) it will never happen. Mark the bug as invalid if you must.

I don't know where to get your GES Version either (Likely not even as a binary yet I'm sure.)

That's exactly what the screencast above shows...

> But since PiTiVi has no windows port (nor will ever)

We're not against the idea. It will have a Windows port if someone offers to test, package and maintain it on Windows. So far, nobody has offered to do this.

Not recommended for production use of course, as we're blocked by bugs in gstreamer.
