Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2013-09-19 20:10:02 UTC 
We were missing something in GES/gstreamer to set the background color of titlesource in order to use exclusively this element for our title editor.

However, there now is
ges_timeline_title_source_set_background ()
...in the api docs in GES. In theory, this "should" work now that we have video compositing/mixing in GES.

Once this is done, the title editor/timeline codebase in Pitivi should be updated to get rid of the silly "titles as overlays as properties of a video clip" approach, and only keep the "each title is a clip by itself" approach. See http://wiki.pitivi.org/wiki/Title_editor_design for an explanation of that.

Setting a transparent color "works" now in the UI, but it doesn't actually get taken into account by the backend, it doesn't become transparent/composited...
