We are excited to share that we have compiled a Windows version of OpenRV!
Our goal is simple: to make professional open-source media review tools like ORV easier to access and use for the VFX community.
Although ORV’s source code is publicly available, using the software in practice still requires users to compile it themselves, a process that can be technically demanding and time-consuming. For many artists and smaller production teams, this has limited its real-world usability, despite the promise of open-source software.
TWIN is providing a Windows executable and installer for OpenRV. The download enables artists to install ORV quickly and get straight to reviewing their work, without needing specialised build knowledge or engineering support.
At TWIN, we believe technology should always be in service of the art. For us, innovation is only meaningful when it empowers creativity and craftsmanship. By offering a precompiled Windows version, we are helping bridge a common gap in open-source software distribution, making powerful tools more accessible, more agile, and better aligned with the needs of independent artists and smaller studios.
This release reflects our broader commitment to goal-oriented, accessible technology: tools that stay out of the way, support artistic intent, and allow creators to focus on what matters most, the work itself. - Theo Facey, CTO
