Description

EDL Loc / Clip Markers are in timeline units, XML clip markers are in clip/media units.
This makes handling of markers a real problem.
The marker position calculation should be independent of the original timeline format.

I'm suspecting that EDL LOC markers should be timeline/track markers not clip markers, or they need translating.

Research direction

Compare the EDL LOC/Clip Marker handling with XML clip markers, focusing on how timeline units and clip/media units are converted. Determine whether EDL markers should be timeline/track markers or translated, and consider the work complete when marker position calculation is independent of the original timeline format.
