I'm also very interested in getting ora support in Blender. I'm doing 2d
animation, currently I'm using Blender for compositing and editing but are
looking into moving my whole cut-out animation workflow into Blender.
Having ora support would be very useful for me.

@Guillermo. Can you ask ZanQdo if he's willing to do it and what it would
cost?
Perhaps we could do a crowdfunding of this.

Cheers,
