OpenTimelineIO: post-production exchange format from Pixar

[alcinos]

Hi all,

The project seems interesting, and could open easy integrations with other
softwares. We should try to assess if this project is also used in the FOSS
community, because the github only mentions commercial softwares.
One drawback is that everything seems to be in python, but we should be
able to workaround that if we want to be able to read/write to this format.


However, this will not be the format that kdenlive uses at its core in the
forseeable future. Kdenlive's format is tied to MLT, which provides
numerous advantages in terms of writing, parsing and intercompability.
The "generation 3" of the project format mentionned in the document is
simply due to the fact that we changed a bit the way we use MLT behind the
scenes (to allow for new features eventually, like same-track transitions),
hence the XML will look slightly different, but it will remain a MLT XML.

Cheers!
