Custom DFIR
However, what you are trying to do has already been done. For collections look at velociraptor's offline collector https://github.com/Velocidex/velociraptor. For processing check out Log2Timeline (plaso) https://github.com/log2timeline/plaso.

I feel like I'm putting the cart before the horse. Noob question.
I see other folks already mentioned: think about trying to tell a story, rather than just like, looking at all the events (A tool like Plaso can help you timeline logs so you can see things chronologically which can help in telling a story about what happened across many log sources)

Solving a child porn case (student environment)
My advice would be to go through a timeline to assert the activity before and after these files "appeared" . This can be done in log2timeline / plaso , this script can parse the raw image (or e01 or whatever you have) and build a timeline , parse it and sort it. Also look for lnk files and shellbags to see if the files were opened , used etc.

- 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
What are some alternatives?
When comparing plaso and OpenTimelineIO you can also consider the following projects:
IPED - IPED Digital Forensic Tool. It is an open source software that can be used to process and analyze digital evidence, often seized at crime scenes by law enforcement or in a corporate investigation by private examiners.
