Description
Hi; I'm a maintainer of OpenFX. I'm interested in using Toucan to test some OpenFX effects. I see a few .otio files in data/ so I get the basic structure for how you represent an OpenFX effect, but I'm wondering if these files were hand-constructed or if there's an app that can create them?
Also it seems toucan doesn't look in the standard OpenFX directories for plugins. Would a PR for that be accepted?

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing .otio examples in data/ and tracing how Toucan discovers OpenFX plugins. Determine how the examples were created and which standard plugin directories are supported; done means the creation workflow is documented or clarified and the requested lookup behavior is addressed with the relevant validation.
