Comment 2 for bug 708393

Could you attach a sample file?
However I suspect the file isn't the problem, because I saw this in the debug log:

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'pitivi' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 61 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...

Which sounds like a video driver problem or an out of memory error? Not sure...
