Description

If you have an EDL with two dissolves in a row, the EDL parser doesn't handle that correctly.

Same issue if a dissolve's source(s) don't match the adjacent clips.

Research direction

Start by locating the EDL parser and reproduce the issue with an EDL containing adjacent dissolves, including cases where a dissolve's sources do not match adjacent clips. Done means both cases are parsed correctly without breaking existing EDL handling.
