Hello @aleb,
Pitivi docs recommends to use brew aleb/gui/pitivi to get it on Mac, however there is no such repo on your github.
Has the process changed lately ?

Sorry, I should update the page. Homebrew is not actually good for this because they focus on supporting old Macs, and we don't care about that because we don't even have the time for supporting the latest.

In https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pitivi/merge_requests/130 you can see the discussion about using Cerbero to build Pitivi for Mac. This was being worked on in https://gitlab.gnome.org/sprhawk/cerbero-pitivi by @sprhawk. Then once Pitivi runs with no major issues on Mac we have to see how to package it in a DMG.

If you can help with any of that, or are interested in testing, drop us a line how to reach you. http://www.pitivi.org/?go=contact
