I do not. Although I think I could get someone to construct one for me if needed. I don't use Apple products, but my
understanding is that Apple video editing tools can be used to generate such files.

I've only given the improved edit list handling in FFmpeg a brief look.  But edit lists suffer from a very similar
problem in that an edit can start on a non-IDR frame and thus you have to decode frames prior to the start of the edit
in order to get frame accurate playback.  I don't recall seeing anything that can handle this scenario in FFmpeg.
