Description Leon Arundell 2020-06-17 06:04:46 UTC

SUMMARY

When I try to import a project, I get a message to install OpenTimelineIO (which I have done) and to "check the scripts are installed in a directory listed in PATH environment variable."

It does not explain how to identify or locate a "script," how to install it in a directory listed in PATH environment variable, or in which directory it may be safely installed


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. From the menu, select "File > Import project"
2. Error message appears:
Could not find "otioconvert" script.
You need to install OpenTimelineIO,
through your package manager if available,
or by "pip3 install opentimelineio",
and check the scripts are installed in a directory listed in PATH environment variable

3. Install OpenTimelineIO

4. Repeat above.

4. From the menu, select Settings > Configure kdenlive > MLT environment

OBSERVED RESULT

A list of potential PATH directories

EXPECTED RESULT



SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Add python interface

This adds a new python interface class that is now used by text to speech and otioconvertions. One of the main goals is to offer dependency management for otio in a the same why it is already possible for text to speech.

Other achievements are

* reduce duplicated code
* make it easier to add more python based features in the future
* more detailed error messages in some situations
