I have explored a couple of alternatives to edit a video by using an interactive quartz composition. I would like to have a cocoa interface for doing so. Here is what I have done up to now. I am at the level of getting a feel of what the building blocks of the application interface are and how it could be done.

I have tried to include the source video as a patch in the interactive quartz composition, by clicking on the composition for example I can add circles, squares, cubes etc to the visual content. It more or less works after I have built a movie controller to move back and forth in the composition time line but when I stop the composition, everything becomes black. I find this cumbersome and would rather use the QTKit classes to deal with the video and capture the user interactions at the quartz composition level. So what I thought of doing was to add a QTView object and a Quartz Composer view to the interface, making the composition transparent and putting it on top of the QTView. The problem in that case is that the QTView always masks the Quartz composition.

As anyone explored a similar application and found a way to overlay a quartz composition over a QTView in Interface Builder?

Thanks

Bruno
