Create a timeline interchange

Starts a timeline interchange job that converts a project into an editor interchange document (Final Cut Pro FCPXML, Adobe Premiere Pro XML, OpenTimelineIO, or an SRT caption sidecar). Returns immediately with an interchange job id; the file becomes available when the job completes. Unlike POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/export (which renders a flattened MP4), this preserves the project as an editable timeline of separate clips, tracks, and captions so you can keep editing it in a desktop video editor. Choose mediaDelivery to control how the document references media: REMOTE_URLS produces a single document that links to signed media URLs, while BUNDLE produces a zip containing the document plus every referenced media file for durable offline relinking.
