Quartonian: live performance with Quartz Composer

Download

Posted by roger on February 4th, 2006

Quartonian Mixer is no longer being actively developed but full source is available for people to learn from. If you want to mix quartz compositions with Quartonian Mixer you will need to install the Kineme Plugins and modify the patch to use these instead of image with movie nodes.
I now recommend VDMX5 beta or Isadora for mixing live with Quartz Composer compositions and creating quartz composer effects. Neither of these is free, but they both have very good support for Core Image, let you create effects from QC chains and have much better media management than I’m able to create.

Quartonian Mixer is a free creative commons licensed VJ mixer created entirely in Quartz Composer. It allows Triggering, Mixing and Core Image effects on multiple banks of Quicktimes, Still Images, Quartz Composer compositions or flash animations.

You must install Quartz Composer from the Developer tools on the Tiger DVD before using this program

Hardware and OS Requirements:
Requires Max OS X 10.4.4 or later. Miniumum Hardware: G4 processor, 32MB Graphics card, 512MB RAM. Strongly recommended 1 Ghz+ G4 Processor, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9600 64MB Graphics card or bettter. Realtime performance of core image filters requires supported graphics card.
