Daily is a tool to convert scene-linear openexr images into display-referred quicktime movies. It supports uint16 precision and uses OpenColorIO for colorspace conversions. Common dailies movie features like text comments, frame number overlays, slate frames, and shot number overlays are supported. It also supports resize operations, including cropping, scaling, padding, and masking.
Daily uses OpenImageIO >= 2.0 and OpenColorIO for reading exr, and ffmpeg for encoding to quicktime. No temporary files are required.
Daily reads configuration data from a yaml file, and has the ability to create many custom "codec" presets for different output formats. For example, one could have an internal dailies review format that is 2560x1440 10 bit 4:4:4 h264 log, and a deliveries format that is 1920x1080 8 bit 4:2:2 DNxHD.
usage: daily [-h] [-c CODEC] [-p PROFILE] [-o OUTPUT] [-t TEXT]

images, a path to the first image, a percent 05d path,
or a ##### path.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

Dailies profile: Choose the settings to use for
dailies overlays: delivery internal
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output directory: Optional override to movie_location
in the DAILIES_CONFIG. This can be a path relative to
the image sequence.
-t TEXT, --text TEXT Text elements and contents to add: e.g. "artist: Jed

# Example commands
## Daily using the "avchd" codec defined in the yaml configuration file. Output to the "movie_location" path specified in the config.
daily /drive/video/20181108/exr/M02-0014/M02-0014_%06d.exr -c avchq
## Daily the same exr sequence to a test output directory, using the "hevc_1440p" codec, and a "log" ocio color transform defined in the "ocio_profiles" section of the config.
daily /drive/video/20181108/exr/ -o ~/tmp/test_output -c hevc_1440p --ocio /path/to/ocio/config.ocio -ct log
- OpenImageIO - Python module used for all image and color manipulations. Must be compiled with OpenImageIO support. Must be OpenImageIO >= 2.0
- ffmpeg - Used for encoding from OpenImageIO to quicktime.
- Pillow - Optional Python module used for photo jpeg output. Jpegs are encoded using OpenimageIO -> Pillow -> ffmpeg.
- Numpy - Python module used for OpenImageIO pixel data manipulations.
- PyYAML - Used to read the yaml configuration file.
