1 year ago Hi @amakuramio - It looks like maybe there are two separate issues here? We've been moving the adapters out of the core into separate repos. Can you try the KDE maintained KDENLive adapter and see if that solves the exception you're running into? If that other adapter has issues, that team would be better suited to help out - unfortunately we're not kdenlive experts.
The OpenTimelineIO core team is shifting focus away from adding new adapters so we can concentrate on core enhancements. There is documentation about how to create new adapters available - we encourage interested parties to follow that guide. We're always happy to help with guidance, but the team likely won't be adding any new format support to the main library.
