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 a great tool to have in our toolbox. We find RV an excellent solution for desktop playback, with a rich set of features that we require in day to day production. With an excellent development team who listen to the customer , we are always confident that RV will meet our needs".
---Matt Welford,

Head of Compositing, Weta Digital

This is a seriously good tool. RV is fast and light, and continues to amaze me with what can be customized in the UI via scripting. The tools that we've been able to add to tie in with our pipeline have become core productivity aids to our artists. RV rules.
---Erik Winquist,

Compositing Supervisor, Weta Digital

With Tweak’s RV we found an elegant solution that we can customize and integrate into our pipelines for film, animation and episodic production, there are no other playback tools on the market that come close to RV’s ability to customize and seamlessly integrate within our environment, which was an absolute requirement for us.

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.
--Mauricio Baiochchi

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.
