i mean can *any* NLE on your machine (including Resolve) produce usable cmx3600 edl? 


i compiled git opentimelineio with minor hack

so it links with current python3.9 on my tablet/termux

$ ./setup.py install --prefix ~/.local

and something shows up..

i found some forum posts on kdenlive's support of opentimelineio (and thus cmx3600) but in mid-2020 it was not really working flawless/out of the box. 

now we have opentimelineio-0.13 (and i compiled 0.14-dev) so it may work better? 

can you double-check your kdenlive/otio install?

make sure you configure Resolve as suggested in 

https://forum.shotcut.org/t/lost-timecode-xavcs/3392/15

'extract reel names from edl comments' especially? 

i think i can put them (reel names) from Cin side, but need some better understanding how to convert filenames into simple, unique 8 char long strings.... (sometimes 16 or 32 long reel names accepted)
