thanks heaps for your help.
Been playing with and loving it. On the G5 it runs fine, except the “kill switch” delete, doesn’t work. I figure thats your silly english keyboard tho. ;-p
On the i-book G4 its mostly doing fine. Doing something strange, seems some clips get “lost” after being assigned. It will work fine the first time, then when the program is opened the next time, a clip or 2 doesn’t trigger, a blank, rather soothing lime green block of colour is in its place.

Open and closed a few times and more and more clips dissappeared. Fixed by reallocating clips. Just odd.

Figure its me, cos I was tinkering around. Have you heard of this before?

thanks matey. Going to use it at next doof.

yes I’ve noticed the not looping problem. they should loop forever as far as I can tell it’s a bug.

I suggest, load the compositions in quartz composer and output them again 640×480 resolution but set 4 hours as the loop time.
it shouldn’t make the quicktimes any bigger but they should loop
forever then.

i’ll do this on my next release

Woo! Can’t wait!
I’m having some problems with Cities of the Future, Sonic Burst and Access Denied… they don’t loop. They play for 5 minutes and stop. Can I make them loop like the other clips? Is this something I need to set in quartonian or in the clip? Ideally I’d like to be able to load in a bunch of clips and have them run for up to an hour without exiting the program. Small clips I’ve made myself (using Motion) seem to do this when exported as .mov files but these few don’t.

Also, I’m very new to quartz composer – how did you make them? They are really fantastic.
