timeline serialization issue with the official builds on windows.
summary
I saved xges files from timelines that were constructed across 5 different scenarios. The scenarios are named like "02", "03", ..., "06".
In each scenario, I constructed a timeline and saved it by calling ges_timeline_save_to_uri.
linux vs. windows
I did this in Windows and Linux (Fedora 30). The scenarios are identical across operating systems (except file paths), yet the xges files are different. A quick diff of the two folders shows you that there is clearly a problem on Windows. Specifically the clip elements do not appear within the files from Windows, but instead there is some kind of malformed xml where the clip should be.
effects are not serialized
All of my video clips have a GESEffect of type videocrop which do not appear in the serialized data.
versions
