System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

OTIO provides multiple CLIs and adapters for converting and editing timelines, making it easy to misalign formats and workflows. This skill wraps those tools into a single, non-interactive interface to simplify round-trips and quick inspection across EDL, FCP7 XML, FCXP XML, AAF, and OTIO-JSON formats.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format conversion: convert between EDL, FCP7 XML, FCXP XML, AAF, and OTIO-JSON.
  • Timeline operations: inspect, concatenate, filter, and view timelines via otioconvert / otiocat / otiostat / otiotool / otiopluginfo / otioview.
  • Convenient presets: use predefined adapter pairs to streamline common conversions (e.g., EDL→OTIO, OTIO→FCP7/FCXP).
  • Use Case: A media editor converts a Final Cut Pro XML back to Premiere-friendly XML via the OTIO wrapper to preserve edit decisions.

Quick Start

Convert between NLE formats or manipulate OTIO timelines using the otio.py wrapper.
