OpenTimelineIO metadata and effects

Hi all. I’m making a simple web based video editor and I recently added OpenTimelineIO export so I can transfer projects between my editor and Kdenlive. It mostly works, but with a few issues from Kdenlive partly due to the simplicity of OTIO:

  • Kdenlive drops all metadata and effects on import

  • Project settings like resolution and frame rate aren’t exported

  • Effects aren’t exported

Is improved metadata support with OTIO planned? On effects: I joined the OTIO slack and there’s a lot of interest in adding audio gain and spatial transform effects. It would be great to have those supported in Kdenlive as well.
