Flame MIO Open Clips metadata

Hi guys,

I am writing a Flame Tool that generates comp open clips, graded open clips and generates tracks just off of a comform. It is a pipeline tool specific for the company I work at but that it can be tokenized and specified to different folder structures.

One problem that I found with MIO Open Clips is that when the metadata of the clip changes, then the Open Clip fails. This is not too much of a problem as the pipeline is set as so the metadata of a shot should always remain the same during the project, but it happens that sometimes artist get the wrong shot to copy the metadata from.

Now my question is - does anyone know what actual data is it comparing? Cause if we know the metadata used to compare, I could just write a safe check that notifies that user when clips have different metadata.

I tried to look online but couldnt find much. Can also share the code if needed.

Thanks!
