Request: OpenTimelineIO (*.otio) support #33

Description

@darkvertex

It would be rad if it was possible to export the timeline as .otio format using
https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenTimelineIO

The .otio file can be then easily converted to a variety of video editor formats via their provided CLI called otiotool.

If you support saving .otio, anyone can then convert it to a FinalCut XML, EDL cut lists and even load it in Adobe Premiere (in beta.)


Alternatively, OTIO has a concept of "adapters" to be able to read and write from other formats, and instead of having AudioAlign save an .otio file, someone could contribute an OTIO adapter plugin for the custom XML format that AudioAlign uses, so that otiotool could load it and convert it to another format. -- There's a bit of docs about that here: https://opentimelineio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/write-an-adapter.html
