Is there a way to see one global timeline for multiple sequential files? #445

Hi there! 👋

I looked around the UI and read the docs I could find and cannot find a way. Is there a mechanism whereby I can open multiple sequential files, like say multiple shots in a sequence, but see them in one global timeline at the bottom such that one can click around in a global timeline made out of multiple sequential clips from different files.

In mrviewer you can do it with their EDL mode. In RV you have a concept of sequences that can do it also. Does DJV have something around these lines?

Hi there! Not yet, but I'm currently working on rewriting the "playback engine" to add support for this. Are you using OpenTimelineIO for the sequence information?

darkvertex commented 2 years ago

I am able to describe them as otio timelines, yeah. If DJV supported them directly that would be awesome. :)

Great, the new playback engine is built around OpenTimelineIO so there will definitely be native support.
