Import Canvas Edit

Changed on

Import an OpenTimelineIO timeline into the Main Edit.

Strict by default: any OTIO item this surface cannot represent fails the whole import with a named fidelity report (on_unsupported=skip imports the rest and reports every dropped item). The converted operations are validated before anything applies; ≤100-operation imports are atomic. mode=replace clears the existing timeline first; append adds after it. External media references resolve only through uploaded media_map entries — unmapped or still-pending media is a named rejection.

Headers

Moda-Version'2026-04-12' | '2026-05-01'
Example:2026-05-01

Calendar-dated API version pin. New integrations should pin 2026-05-01 to opt into the newest response shapes. For back-compat the server also accepts requests with no header and resolves them to the current default (today: 2026-04-12); that default advances on each sunset date. Any unsupported value returns 400 unsupported_version.

Request body

media_mapobject nullable

Staged media-map manifest (moment-index media_map schema): uploaded entries resolve external media references to Moda assets; pending entries are named rejections, never placeholders.

mode'replace' | 'append'
on_unsupported'reject' | 'skip'

reject: any unrepresentable OTIO item fails the whole import (default). skip: import what is supported and report every dropped item in fidelity.
