I have a test version you can test on 14.04 LTS:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pitivi
You can revert to the old version with:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
I tested it and imported some ogg video and produced webm out of it successfully. It also didn't break anything in that VM where pitivi worked even originally. It still does have some problem drawing the timeline, though, and patches in Debian didn't seem to fix the issue for me so I didn't include them.
Testing would be welcome, even though the fixes should be first pushed to 14.10 - the problem is that 14.10 has another crasher bug #1377804 so even if this fix would be uploaded there, pitivi would still crash in 14.10. A somewhat functional version in 14.04 LTS might be worth it, though.
