Lucasfilm software engineer Darby Johnston’s free image-viewing and batch-processing tools for visual effects production work have just hit an official 1.0 release. Flipbook tool djv_view is shown above.

DJV Imaging – aka Lucasfilm UX software engineer Darby Johnston – has officially released version 1.0 of its flipbook and command-line image-processing tools.

The four applications – djv_view, djv_ls, djv_info and djv_convert – provide a viewer for image sequences and movie playback; and batch tools for navigating, analysing and processing image sequences.

All four are designed for real-world production work.

Proven credentials
The tools have been around for some time prior to the official release, and have attracted a lot of positive feedback from visual effects professionals.

The DJV Imaging website boasts a pretty impressive list of testimonials, including Zoic Studios and Reel FX, while one comment on Sourceforge praises the “simple, fast, efficient [workflow] and beautiful GUI”.

Rebuilt and repackaged
The 1.0 release rebuilds the applications on the popular Qt toolset, and offers packaged Linux, Windows and OS X versions. Third-party packages have also been updated to their current versions, including OpenEXR 2.2.

DJV Imaging’s tools are free to download. Compiled versions are available for Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.7 and above and CentOS 6.3, or you can compile the source code for yourself from Git.
