Description

Currently Raven doesn't support adapters for AAF, XML, etc. Having support for non-OTIO read / write operations would be really great. Here are some ideas on how to implement it:

  • subprocess pipe to otioconvert
  • add an embedded Python install

Constraint: We want to ensure this tool stays light weight, and works in the browser.

Research direction

Start by investigating how Raven currently handles OpenTimelineIO read/write operations and how a subprocess pipe to otioconvert or an embedded Python install would fit the lightweight, browser-compatible constraint. Define which non-OTIO formats, including AAF and XML, must be readable and writable; done means those adapter operations work without undermining browser support.
