Error: Missing OpenTimelineIO
In Kubuntu 20.04, I've installed Kdenlive 20.04.0 three different ways:
- via AppImage
- via Snap Package
- via ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
In all three, if I try to export a video I've edited, I get the error shown in
this screenshot:

The text of that error is:
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
Exporting a video, you've edited, (to me) seems to be one of the most
fundamental tasks you'd do with a video editor. It seems like a task you'd be
able to accomplish without further installation.
I'm sure there are good reasons for this end-user hassle. However the purpose
of this report is to request the elimination of additional installation steps.
Ideally, there should be a documented way to install everything up-front,
without runtime surprises that request additional installation. You shouldn't
have to try every feature, of an application, to discover if it is fully
installed or not. There needs to be an upfront way of installing everything.
