This is a beta version of pixelmad that supports the new quartz composer files that are in tiger and quicktime 7.
This version is not intended to be used in real shows- it is a beta only, to show the power of the use of quartz composer

Quartz composer supports all sorts of real time patches, screen savers, rss feeds, text, animated gobos, even complex particle fx, and uses a visual programming language.
It enables you to program your own animated effects.
You are not restricted to any visual fx. You can program your own.
Supports all core image filters.

These 'compositions' can be loaded into any pixelmad layer.
overlayed, used with any visual and colour fx.
Works with all playmodes, and in and out points.
you use the quartz composer file - just as you would a movie, you give it a number and load it like a movie, in a library/file folder.

Please upload any quartz composer files you might want to share with other users.

As apple says:

Quartz Composer combines Core Image plug-ins with OpenGL, QuickTime, and RSS, allowing you to make dazzling effects using simple visual programming techniques.
