Documentation
Guides for running and integrating EXR Converter. Edit these files under
docs/ in the repo. The site is generated with Astro (site/) and published at
exr-converter.derekvfx.ca.
The app writes a video file or an OpenEXR sequence. PNG, JPEG, WebP, and DPX can be sequence inputs on EXR → Video. They are not outputs.
macOS release builds (Apple Silicon and Intel) are signed with a Developer ID Application certificate, then notarized and stapled. The app opens normally. First launch may still show the standard "downloaded from the internet" prompt.
When you change CLI flags, GUI behavior, codecs, OCIO defaults, packaging that users see, or integrations, update the matching guide here in the same PR as the code (and CHANGELOG.md). See AGENTS.md: Documentation.
