OpenTimelineIO Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) Adapter

Overview

This project is a OpenTimelineIO adapter for reading and writing Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) files. This adapter was originally included with OpenTimelineIO as a contrib adapter. It is in the process of being separated into this project to improve maintainability and reduced the dependencies of both projects.

Testing for Development

# In the root folder of the repo
pip install -e .

# Test adapter
otioconvert -i some_timeline.aaf -o some_timeline.ext

If you are using a version of OpentimelineIO that still has the AAF contrib adapter you may need to add the path of plugin_manifest.json to your OTIO_PLUGIN_MANIFEST_PATH environment variable. This should override the contrib version.
