RuntimeError: Can't find main tractor
## Context
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported otioconvert command and reviewing the kdenlive adapter traceback, especially the failure to find the main tractor. Determine the requirements for reading and writing Sony Vegas .veg timelines, then add coverage demonstrating successful conversion in both directions.
