           Summary: [insanity] [pitivi] Test for huge timelines
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-editing-services
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: nekohayo at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


The huge amount of rendering bugs in pitivi prompts for some more solid
automated torture testing. Hopefully, the simpler use cases might be solved by
the port to GES, but there remains a need for testing "serious business"
projects. While rare, it is not unusual to hear reports of users trying to deal
with hundreds of clips or very long timelines, and running into kernel
limitations, hangs/crashes or memory problems.

For GES to be considered ready for serious production needs, we would need some
test suite (using "insanity" to complement the existing "nekohayo"?) to run at
least the following scenarios:
- a timeline with 2000 different clips
- a timeline with a couple of multi-gigabyte files
- feature-length projects (timelines that are 1-3 hours long)

Tests should ensure that those timelines render flawlessly, and could also
profile loading times, seeking times, memory usage, etc.
