What users say about RV:

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 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.

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 lets me do that; it is an incredibly powerful tool. RV allows me to work with images the way I want, without getting in the way.

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!.

LAIKA successfully used Tweak's RV toward the end of production on Coraline. We found the combination of stability, clean interface, pipeline integration features and stereoscopic playback really met our needs. We were also very pleased with the outstanding customer support . After that experience and evaluation of other alternatives, LAIKA's entertainment division has now standardized on RV as our default studio playback solution.

--Tony Aiello, R&D Software Manager, LAIKA


RV is an industrial strength image playback tool, and the only solution out there robust and customizable enough to replace Flipper, our in-house tool. Supporting a proprietary homegrown playback solution is expensive and not the best use of R&D resources, but before RV there was no good alternative.

--Sanjay Das, CTO, Tippett Studio





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.
