Crashes when reading OTIO file with SerializableCollection #23

Open jminor opened 9 months ago

jminor commented 9 months ago

If Raven is given an OTIO file with a top-level object that isn't a Timeline, it crashes. The most common case of this is an OTIO file with a SerializableCollection containing multiple timelines.

At the very least, it should give the user a helpful error message instead of crashing.

Even better it could present each different type of OTIO object in a reasonable manner. For SerializableCollection, maybe tabs for each item. For other types like MediaReference, Clip, etc. it could just show the JSON and Inspector without the timeline view.

Here's an example of a case where it would be useful to view a SerializableCollection: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenTimelineIO/issues/1687
