RV
RV is the next generation image and sequence viewer for VFX and animation artists. It was created in a high-end production environment by artists and engineers who wanted a more refined tool for working
with film resolution, high dynamic range images.

RV combines a flexible architecture and a hardware accelerated compositing pipeline with a lean, polished design. RV comes with RVIO, a standalone batch image pipeline tool that can convert, conform, slate, composite, and color correct. RV and RVIO combine to make powerful toolkit for working with moving images.

What users say about RV:
I've been using RV as my image player of choice for over a year now; as a VFX Supervisor, I have to be able to totally trust the image I'm looking at and RV let's me do that; it is an incredibly powerful tool. It allows me to easily manipulate the image on the fly: I can change playback speeds, or play just portions of the movie; I can alter gamma, exposure, hue and saturation; I can add viewing LUTs; I can flop it, flip it, rotate it, scale it; I can create layers and wipes to compare different versions of a movie; I can use it from the command line or just drag and drop; I can view stereo pairs of images in multiple ways from anaglyph to side by side, whilst interactively changing the convergence; I can display multiple image types within a single viewing session. In short, RV allows me to work with images the way I want, without getting in the way.

RV is the fast, feature rich and floating point image player that the
big VFX shops spend their R&D resources on to develop in house.
What Tweak Software has done, is make it available to small companies
like ours that need tools of this caliber. We dropped our old playback
tools in a heart beat.

RV fills a conspicuous void in the computer graphics toolset. Full-featured and flexible, RV is intelligently designed and built for the rigorous demands of visual effects and motion graphics design work.
