DJV

DJV is an open‑source application designed for reviewing high‑bit‑depth image sequences and movies in professional film, VFX, and animation pipelines. It supports frame‑accurate playback of EXR and other formats, allowing users to perform dailies, shot review, and A/B comparisons with wipe, overlay, difference, and tile modes. The viewer integrates OpenTimelineIO for timeline handling, OpenColorIO for color management, and can play multi‑track audio with variable speed and reverse playback.

The software runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, offering a configurable interface that includes a viewport, timeline with thumbnails and audio waveforms, and tool panels for functions such as color picking and magnification. Users can open files directly or invoke external FFmpeg commands to extend codec support, and a secondary window can mirror the viewport on a separate display for client reviews.

DJV emphasizes real‑time performance for high‑resolution, high‑bit‑depth media, supporting experimental USD workflows and providing export options for frames and color‑corrected images. Documentation covers installation, file handling, playback controls, and troubleshooting, making it a practical tool for studios and individual artists needing reliable media review.
