#OpenTimelineIO is a nice simple text based JSON format that is easy to parse, so you can just use simple text processing to get information about a timeline and not need to worry about decoding binary like AAF -- wait What The Hell Adobe?
The place you decided to stuff weird binary in a text format was for... Text. The text of an onscreen title?! You are gonna force me to reverse engineer *text* of all things in the middle of JSON?!
And yes I see the ==, but BASE64 is only part of it.
Darby Johnston will be showcasing Kdenlive's OpenTimelineIO support at the Academy Software Foundation's Open Source Days. Check it out live tomorrow, 5th of August at 9PM UTC.

Kdenlive 25.04.0 was released. This version brings OpentimelineIO import and export. Darby Johnston rewrote the OpentimelineIO import and export function using the C++ library. Now you can exchange projects with other editing applications that support this open source file format. Please note that effects, filters, and transitions are not exported as each application uses its own standard.
Kdenlive supports OpenTimelineIO for importing and exporting project files in the OTIO interchange format. This allows Kdenlive to share and collaboration project files with other applications.
OpenTimelineIO is an interchange format and API for editorial cut information. OTIO contains information about the order and length of cuts and references to external media. It is not however, a container format for media.
The final report of our fundraiser is out. Check out all that was done thanks to your contributions. 💙
Stay tuned for more soon!
