My main project in QC is something along the lines of this. You can
parse an rss feed entirely in Quartz Composer, but that can be
cumbersome, and slows down the rendering time. You can throw the
parser in a render in image patch, and then set it to render for a
second and then stop, and then you'll be left with a static image,
which will increase the framerate, or you could write a parser in PHP
and have the RSS feed patch download from there. I like the third
option, as it's the fastest.
Namaste,

Good Day All..
Haven't played with Quartz Composer for a couple of years, wondering
if things have changed..
We use a eMac hooked up to our school's video distribution system to
display student made DVDs, class projects and a daily PowerPoint.
I'd like the presentation to be done with Quartz as a screen saver
since is it much NICER than PowerPoint. But I'd like Quartz to get
data that can be inputed by a student (k-5 student) and read from a
text file. Such as classes with perfect attendance, today local
weather, etc...
Is this possible with todays Quartz Composer? If so how? Anyone have
an example online..
I can do the basic stuff (i.e.: Globe with real time weather cloud
cover, time, date), but I'd like to advance my skills.... Perhaps
using Automator or Apple script with Quartz Composer.
Thanks
