How can I use draft to convert a sequence of EXR’s to a mov file without having to run it through deadline? Is it possible to just call it directly using python?
Are there some examples I can look at?
In my case I have a list of exr images I want to convert to an h264 video.
Not sure how to do this with python. I’m still looking around in the code.
All i need to set is the framerate and the codec, possibly the resolution as well.
Draft Standalone:

Draft Python cookbook:

Update. For anyone looking for examples here are two functions that convert an incoming image sequence to an H264 mov file and the other function converts exrs to pngs.
[code]
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,‘C:\DeadlineRepository8\draft\Windows\32bit’)
import Draft
from DraftParamParser import ReplaceFilenameHashesWithNumber
import os
def renderDraftQT(source, destination, startframe, endframe):
‘’’
convert one image to another using draft.
ex: renderDraftQT(’/exr2/teapot_.####.exr’, ‘/exr2/teapot_h264proxy.mov’, 0, 30)
‘’’
encoder = Draft.VideoEncoder( destination, codec=‘H264’, quality=85, fps=23.976 )
for frame in range (startframe, endframe + 1):
fileIn = ReplaceFilenameHashesWithNumber( source, frame )
img = Draft.Image.ReadFromFile( fileIn )
img.ApplyGamma( 1.0 / 2.2 )
encoder.EncodeNextFrame( img )
encoder.FinalizeEncoding()
def renderDraftPNG(source, destination, startframe, endframe):

try:
os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(d))
except:
pass
for frame in range (startframe, endframe + 1):
fileIn = ReplaceFilenameHashesWithNumber( source, frame )
if not os.path.isfile(fileIn):
print 'File does not exist:', fileIn
continue
fileOut = ReplaceFilenameHashesWithNumber( destination, frame )
img = Draft.Image.ReadFromFile( fileIn )
img.ApplyGamma( 1.0 / 2.2 )
img.WriteToFile( fileOut )
print 'converted:', fileOut
