OpenTimelineIO (OTIO) is a file format developed at Pixar and now at the ASWF, which describes editorial cut information, similar to an EDL but also includes an API that lets you manipulate the import and export of clips, tracks, transitions and linear retimes. We see OTIO as the modern ‘way’ to move your editorial data throughout the pipeline, either to carry the editorial cuts as they evolve or to create playlists for reviewing your shots throughout your shows.
