Scenario
Parse the OTIO project document and resolve its declared timeline rate and duration.
Expected result
Variant 06 resolves to a 24 fps, two-second timeline and keeps its reference identifier without being treated as browser-playable media.

What is a .otio file?

OpenTimelineIO (OTIO) is an open editorial interchange model for timelines, tracks, clips, transitions, gaps, markers, and external media references. Its JSON serialization stores schema-labelled objects and rational time values while adapters translate the same timeline model to and from application-specific formats.

How to use this file

Use an example .otio file to test schema-version handling, clip and track ordering, rational frame ranges, missing-media references, marker preservation, and semantic comparison of an imported timeline against its expected edit decisions.

How to use this file for testing

“Creator Timeline OTIO 06” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Timeline testing, Video editing, Serialization testing. Equivalent deterministic edit decisions and project structures across common timeline formats, with expected clip order, timing, transitions, and failure behavior.

Documented properties for this file: OTIO · 847 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Playable creator clips use their measured duration and catalog thumbnail on a watch-first page. Timeline, caption, sync, colour, and failure sidecars remain download-only; compare their ordered decisions and expected outcome rather than assuming every creator format is browser-playable.

Relink the declared local assets, preserve rational or frame-based timing, and compare the resulting clip order, transitions, duration, and sync markers with the expected contract.
