DAWFileKit
A Swift library for reading and writing common import/export file formats between popular DAW and video editing applications with the ability to convert between formats.
† Full read/write support for Cubase Track Archive XML files is implemented for tracks with absolute timebase, as well as tracks with musical timebase where the tempo track uses only 'Jump' tempo events and there are no 'Ramp' tempo events
‡ Research is needed for Logic Pro X to determine what file formats are common and the viability of their implementation

OpenTimelineIO
OpenTimelineIO is an interchange format and API for editorial cut information. OTIO contains information about the order and length of cuts and references to external media. It is not however, a container format for media.
For integration with applications, the core OTIO library is implemented in C++ and provides an in-memory data model, as well as library functions for interpreting, manipulating, and serializing that data model. Within the core is a dependency-less library for dealing strictly with time, opentime.
The project also supports an official python binding, which is intended to be an idiomatic and ergonomic binding for python developers. The python binding includes a plugin system which supports a number of different types of plugins, most notably adapters, which can be used to read and write legacy formats into the OTIO data model.

Pipeline Neo
Pipeline Neo is a Swift framework for working with FCPXML files easily.
Originally developed by Reuel Kim and it is no longer maintained. Pipeline Neo was created as a spin-off project to fix and update the library when necessary.

#
TimecodeKit
The most robust, precise and complete Swift library for working with SMPTE timecode. Supports 22 industry timecode frame rates, including conversions to/from timecode strings and offering timecode-based calculations.
Timecode is a standard for representing video frames and used for video burn-in timecode (BITC), or display in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or video playback/NLE applications.
