Expose
Expose is a static site generator that converts local file system directories and media files into photoessay websites. It transforms folder structures into site navigation menus and generates standalone HTML and CSS files for web hosting.
The tool automates media processing by applying non-destructive image effects, such as watermarking and color conversion, and performing video filter processing for cuts and stabilization. It can synthesize timelapse or stop-motion videos by converting sequences of still images based on directory keywords.
Gallery organization is managed through filename-matching metadata association, pairing media with descriptive text files. Visual presentation is controlled via HTML templates and variable replacement to maintain consistent theme customization across the site.
