Can't import mesh in Quartz Composer.

I'm trying to import mesh in Quartz Composer 4.6 on Mountain Lion (10.8.3). When I drag the file to the QC windows, the window crash with the following error, causing QC to crash :
Application Specific Information: Uncaught exception "NSInvalidArgumentException": -[NSView setScene:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fabb1840150 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSView setScene:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fabb1840150' terminate called throwing an exception abort() called
Anyone as an idea ?

The MP3 container has a few different brand codecs it can use. You might need to choose a different format for exporting from Audition. I would highly recommend AAC so you can get high quality and compress a production version from that later.
I guess the version numbers are strangely different between platforms. Either way it's a common problem for people bringing media into Flash because it's not widely known that Flash requires Quicktime for some of it.

Is there a way to take a keynote presentation and import it into Quartz Composer?

I want to get rid of the background so it looks professional, like one of Apple's animations on their iPhone page.

It depicts the use of acrobat.com "workspaces".

How can I use multiple cameras in Quartz Composer?

Good morning, all. This is a quartz composer question, but I can't see a quartz-composer specific forum to ask it...
As part of a school project at ACAD we are building a rig to record the output from three video cameras to build a panoramic video. I have played with Quartz Composer to do the melding of videos recorded with this setup into a single image, and it worked very well.
However, to do so live is the intention for this project as well, so we can build the composite video for recording (the timing of three different cameras is a bit awkward) as well as line up the cameras without having to do so separately.
In Quartz Composer, however, the video-in plugin only reads the camera model number, not the unique GUID as seen in the System Profiler, so three identical cameras will not be read properly... you can only choose the model number, not the specific id of the camera.
Is this a bug in Quartz Composer? Is there some top-secret plugin that is hiding somewhere that will allow you to choose the individual camera id's as seen in the system profiler? (Cameras tested have been firewire handycams streamed live, and usb cameras. identical model numbers can't be chosen as individual cameras properly)
Thanks muchly, and please shuffle this question to the proper forum as necessary.

I am working on a project where I need the same functionality. But even though I'm using different webcams, and can clearly select them in the menu, still only one camera works at a time. Even if I run two separate patches, with two different camera inputs, only one of them works.
If you find any solution to this problem, I would really appreciate if you could share it.

Can't open Quartz Composer on new updated OS 10.8.3

Hello,
After upgrading yesterday from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3 on MacMini early 2009, I today downloaded correspondent new XCode app from Apple Store to my Application folder.
Tried to open old Quartz Composer.
No way. Error Message:
An exception was raised:
+[QCImageManager registerImageBufferConverterClass:priority:]: "BackdropsImageBufferConverter" is already registered
Then I found Ralph Johns's post on archived thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2373658:
"If the timings went Snow Leopard Install then 10.6.2 update the Developers Tools I would try running the COMBO version of the OS Update over what you have.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html"
So, I downloaded OSXUpdCombo10.8.3.dmg and installed that update.
Then deleted all items from my Developer folder and downloaded new Quartz Composer app, through xcode46graphicstools6938140a.dmg and tried to open it.
-> Same error message.
What can I do?
Thank you for helping,
Michel

Can't get a quartz composer file to play via applescript.

I'm trying to create a script to play a quartz composer file full screen.
I do the following:
tell application "Finder"
open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
play front document
end tell
I get an error "document 1 doesn’t understand the play message". I tested and can play a .mov file, but not a .qtz file? Any help/ideas?
Thanks

Try this:
tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
tell application "QuickTime Player" to activate
delay 1
tell application "System Events" to key code 49 -- keyboard shortcut: space bar

tell application "QuickTime Player"
launch
activate
open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to key code 49 -- keyboard shortcut: space bar

Quartz composer - Can't get a structure to work inside an iterator

I'm playing around in quartz composer (leopard) trying to make a photo slideshow type composition. I have a directory scanner hooked up to a published input of an Iterator, which connects to a structure key member selector, with the index coming from the iterator index. The idea is to have each iteration chose a different structure member. For some reason this isn't working. It's only choosing the first member for each iteration. The number of iterations is the same as the number of structure members. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? If someone could check and see if it's not just my computer, that would be great. any suggestions on fixes as well. If it is a bug, where can I report it to Apple? It seems like a feature that should be available. Thanks!
here's a text diagram of the composition for clarity (or possibly confusion):
Directory scanner(outputs structure)-to-Iterator{
-to-(structure from scanner)(index- taken from iterator index)structure key member(outputs substructure)-to-structure key member(to get the path) (outputs the image path)-to-image downloader-to-sprite}

Hi there. I'm trying to do something similar and have encountered the same problem. If I use the movie loader in an iterator and load a bunch of movies it all works fine, but as soon as i use the image downloader all the images are the same. I've tried rendering the url that i'm passing to the image downloader onscreen and they are the correct filenames, but the image downloader is just outputting the same image for all instances. Did you find a solution to this problem?

Anymore Tips that might help?

How to use Quartz Composer as a video effect?

Hello everybody,
I recorded a movie with my iSight camera. And now I want to apply a Quartz Composer effect that I created. I put the Quicktime Movie in the same folder as the .qtc file and imported it via the "Movie Loader". Thats works fine in the Quartz Composer Preview window.
But everytime I exported it from Quartz Composer as a Quicktime movie, the place where the movie is, is just white. No movie.
I tried to open the .qtz file in Quicktime, but I got the same result.
What settings do I have to make, to make sure my movie is exported to Quicktime?
I'm quite new to Quartz Composer, but I hope somebody can help me.
Thank you very much,
Jan

You'll want to use Core Video which is technically part of QC and yes I do believe you can apply QC filters to video clips using Core Video.
Apple's Guide to Core Video is here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/CoreVideo/CV ProgIntro/chapter_1_section1.html
There are also Core Video examples in the Developer Example code folder in the Quartz folder.
Hope that helps,

Quartz composer and shake

Lets get out the most important detail-- I'm very new to shake.
I like to use quartz composer to create backgrounds. When I try to bring in a quicktime movie I've created with Quartz Composer I only get the first frame of the movie then... black. My question is, is it possible to use a quicktime movie created in quartz composer in shake?
thanks for any ideas and input you have

Try FxFactory instead, its a much more advanced product and version 2 gives you access to the camera data in Motion.
http://www.noiseindustries.com/support/fxfactoryupdates/files/fxfactory_201.html
So if you can do the maths, you could easily write your own plugin that would be able to orientate an object within a plane as you suggest.
And as I used FxF to write Volumetrix, I have to add the disclaimer

Light painting with Quartz Composer

How can I create a light paint effect with Quartz Composer? Which patches do I have to use?
Thank you in advance,
Steffen

Well, after some digging, I found that it's nothing more than a large image that gets imported. The trick is, and what I still need help with, is creating the camera movements...and even more challenging is the hand held wobble that is subtle enough to add a really nice effect to the whole movie.

I am having trouble with iTunes (possible Quartz Composer Visualizer problem) but have no idea how to fix it.

I tried to use my iTunes but the icon didn't show up and instead I get a folder. The folder is titled TunesApp and in it is another folder called Contents. Contents contains: _CodeSignature, Frameworks, Info.plist, MacOS, PkgInfo, Resources, and version.plist. In the folder MacOS is my iTunes and I can use it, but I get this message:

I can only use my iTunes as long as I keep the message open. When I close the message it tells me: "Closing this window will terminate the running processes: login, bash, iTunes." I have no idea what is going on with it as it was working not too long ago. I do not think I updated it recently but I could be wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Sounds like your computer is having additional issues. I suggest taking it to your nearest Apple Store.

Keynote and Quartz Composer

I am fairly new to Quartz Composer, that being said I have built several animations that I want to add to Keynote presentations, but everytime I try to add them into Keynote they only last :30 sec. I have tried exporting as a .mov file and each time I do I am prompted to give the file an end time, I have tried several different times, and yet Keynote still gives it a :30 sec runtime. I have looked at the exported file in Quicktime and it also says the file is only :30 sec. I have been searching forums for some time now with no luck, but I have found that I am not the only one with this problem.
How can I get the QC file to last longer than :30 sec? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated as this is really starting to wear on me. Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, agentdavo.
I don't think it is. I tried the same thing (to try to get around QuickTime's 3 second limitation) and Keynote isn't allowing access to the video hardware.

How do I install Quartz Composer on my imac 7-27"??

I am trying to get into Quartz Composer and I am very confsed since imac 7-27' doesn't come with a cd-instal anymore. I tried to do online, installing xcode 4 from the apple site, but at some point it says that i never used itunes store and ask me for my billing details...it's confusing since Quartz Composer is a free aplication. Any ideas on how to dwonload this. On SnowLeopard you can do it through your instal cd, But how to do it in Lion????
Much appreciated!!

You need to provide billing information to DL from the App Store, whether or not you buy anything. That's the only way to get anything, including free stuff, from the App Store.
