- Is Opentimelineio (OTIO) a thing?

software tool for analyzing aaf files
opentimelineIO is the only thing i've ever seen that comes close to this. Most folks i know just keep a version of the destination software around for testing.

Shotcut is a free, open-source, cross-platform video editor
Also give https://kdenlive.org/ a try. I settled on it as a high-power, steep learning curve solution when I found myself hitting the wall with alternatives. It's clunky but it does everything I need.
Like Shotcut, it's all MLT underneath the hood. You can click "Generate script" on the render dialog, and get a .mlt file.

What is the best way to create a .kdenlive file with python?
Once I tested Open Timeline IO, but couldn't get good results because kdenlive support was in early development. Maybe the situation right now is better. https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO

Shotcut is a free, open-source, cross-platform video editor
- be able to run on cloud hardware as a render service
Imagine creating a promotional video, then automatically swapping in each client's logo and re-rendering it for each one! The possibilities here are endless.
DaVinci Resolve can't be beat for #1 and seems to support #3 well, but its API seems designed more for plugins than for automated authoring. For instance, the documentation at https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9927... seems to give just read-only access to a lot of things at the TimelineClip level. And https://github.com/pedrolabonia/pydavinci has exactly one contributor.
By contrast, Shotcut seems to be built on, and by, https://mltframework.org/ with a close correspondence between the runtime API surface and the file system representation of a file, and it's fully open-source. Very possibly the sweet spot we've been looking for!
