This presentation proposal showcases how Netflix Animation Studios have enhanced their review workflows by leveraging open-source software. We detail our transition from Autodesk’s RV to it’s open-source counterpart OpenRV. How OpenRV allowed us to rapidly address bugs and add features, all of which we in the process of contributing back to the project. We will discuss challenges in deploying OpenRV in our pipeline and will present two new areas of improvement: a Timeline Editor as well as new Streaming capabilities. The Timeline Editor, a custom multitrack view in OpenRV, addresses our team's requests for enhanced editing and retiming capabilities. It operates independently of in-house libraries, with an open-source release planned for Open Source Days 2025. Additionally, we've added streaming capabilities into OpenRV using the OpenRV OutputPlugin API and open-source libraries like FFmpeg and SRT. This enables seamless streaming to various online services, simplifying review setups.
