Description

Since OTIO gained an official Color schema (see https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenTimelineIO/pull/1887), we should update Raven to use it instead of relying on it's own color metadata. Currently the color value has no effect on the app. This also needs to be added for the editing capability.

    "OTIO_SCHEMA": "Clip.2",
    "color": null,
    "metadata": {
        },
        "raven": {
            "color": "YELLOW"
        }
    },

Research direction

Review Raven's handling of the OTIO Clip color value and the editing capability, using the linked OpenTimelineIO Color schema change as context. Trace where the existing raven color metadata is read and where editing updates clip data. Done means the official Clip color schema drives the app and editing supports it without relying on Raven-specific color metadata.
