[Kdenlive-devel] KDEnlive and OpenShot

OpenShot recently added the possibility to import Kdenlive projects but it
simply adds the whole project as a clip, so it's not quite as useful as what
you suggest. I haven't had a look at the openshot file format, but it most
likely would also be an xml file, so converting between one format and the
other should be possible, but probably not lossless (probably losing some
information about transitions and effects and such).
