mrv2 and vmrv2 are open source professional players and review tools for VFX, animation and computer graphics for Windows, Linux and macOS. You can choose to compile from source or get binaries.

If you are unsure what binary to choose, go to:

https://mrv2.sourceforge.io/downloads/mrv2-download-page.html

mrv2 ships now in two compiled versions:

  • mrv2 with OpenGL backend (free and donationware)
  • vmrv2 with Vulkan backend (free and donationware)

It also ships for many more architectures, so be careful to download the correct one.
It has NOT been tested on Windows aarch64 nor Linux aarch64 (beta testers wanted).

Prices for binaries

Some features of the programs are locked. In order to unlock them, you should use the license helper:

Help->Unlock Features

I use the email information to contact you privately. I don't sell your information, as I don't have access to it, except for your email, which I use to contact you if you run into issues.

  • u$ 25 for a Solo node-locked license for one year.
  • u$ 50 for a Standard node-locked standard license for one year.
  • u$ 75 for a Edit node-locked license with annotations and editing tools for one year.
  • u$ 150 for a Pro node-locked license to own.
  • u$ 300 for a Pro+ node-locked license to own (monthly).

License works for both mrv2 and vmrv2 (you can have both installed).
You need to have an internet connection for the license system.

The donationware version when running without a donation, does not have:

- Annotations (available from Solo and later)
- Python (available in Standard and later)
- Editing (available in Edit and later)
- Voice and Link Annotations (available in Pro)
- Move license to a new machine (available in Pro monthly)

They do have, however:

- Tone-mapping (OpenGL) and HDR (Vulkan)
- OpenEXR layer switching
- Saving Images and Movies with Audio

Prices might change (go up or down) depending on competition and new features.

ChangeLog

  • Added Edit/Video Gap/Insert to mimic the audio gaps.

  • Added Edit/Remove Gap/Insert to mimic the audio gaps.

  • Made it possible to insert gaps even when the other track also had a gap instead of a clip.

  • Fixed Dissolves on both the OpenGL and Vulkan using wrong blending flags leading to mid-dark transitions.

  • Fixed Overlay.otio and multiple tracks drawing on Vulkan backend.

  • Made Roll and Trim work properly when no available ranges are set in the clip.

  • Made Roll to work properly with transitions.

  • Added Slip Edit tool to modify clips' start times in place.

  • Created a nice web page for easier downloading as GitHub was collapsing all the files and leading users to not download the Vulkan vmrv2.

  • Made the demo version allow saving and exporting of both movies with audio and sequences.

  • Removed the annoying start up Donationware license_helper window at the start.
