Salut François,
Merci beaucoup !!

Congratulations for your work with Purism and thanks for the interesting and rewarding post :)

We are discussing interoperability for a while, and plan to work with OpenTimelineIO (for the full timeline, not only audio, and with several source & target formats)...
But this will come when possible for one of us! (as they announced an eventual move to C++, we were waiting for that, but anticipating with python still could be an interesting 1st step).
We could already link this contribution on our site or even create a dedicated menu (as for the script slicing render jobs into several parallel runs...), before properly integrating the function.

Will you come back to kdenlive café? I believed we hadn't heard from you for a while :)

Cheers,

Vincent
