OpenTimelineIO Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) Adapter
Overview
This project is a OpenTimelineIO adapter for reading and writing Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) files. This adapter was originally included with OpenTimelineIO as a contrib adapter. It is in the process of being separated into this project to improve maintainability and reduced the dependencies of both projects.
