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.

## Daily using the "avchd" codec defined in the yaml configuration file. Output to the "movie_location" path specified in the config.
