What does Kdenlive v26.08.2 write to and read from an OpenTimelineIO file, and what is not carried?
Kdenlive's OTIO exporter writes tracks (incl. subtitle kind), clips with media references and source ranges, gaps, mixes as SMPTE_Dissolve transitions, colour clips as generator references and markers/guides; it has no effect or speed handling, and the importer leaves image-sequence references as a TODO.
