OTIOView

This is the original timeline viewer application that used to ship with OpenTimelineIO.

It has since been moved to its own repository as the new Raven viewer has been promoted as the main timeline viewing application.
Having moved OTIOView to its own repository will lower the barrier for contributors to keep this application running.

Install and Run via UV

You can install and run otioview directly from the root folder of you cloned repo

Building Wheels

You can easily build your own wheels with uv

cd otioview
uv build  # <- will produce whl and tar.gz files in a dist folder
