Description
I have observed much confusion among users due to the fact that 1) project settings are crucial to getting a proper aspect ratio while editing and rendering 2) rendering settings depend on project settings, but are still independent.
To solve # 1 and a couple of other issues, it is important that users set their project settings when creating new projects. However, pitivi always starts with a blank project, and the user is not forced to go through this step.
On startup, we should instead present the user with a dialog such as http://www.glom.org/wiki/images/b/b7/Glom_Welcome_Mockup.png
Basically, a list of recently used pitivi projects (check if their location still exists though) and the ability to create a new project. Doing so would pop up the project settings dialog. If the user clicks OK, the project is created. If the user clicks Cancel, he is thrown back to the welcome screen (except if that dialog was called explicitely by the user).
