You *can* do this using Quartz Composer based technology, you just
have to use a developer example app to get started. Ive used QCTV
numerous times with my plugin. My plugin handles getting the screen ->
image conversion in realtime, at full frame rate, at full resolution.
As for processing + QC. I did just this, but at 60 fps a few weeks ago
for a performance. If you dont want to use VDMX, youd dont have to.
Just modify QCTV or any other Developer Example and use the
v002screengrab plugin in there... and it all works, just as you
expect it to!

As I have mulled this over....
We know we can get a static screengrab. That screengrab can then be
cropped, filtered etc. This is implemented in stuff like the generic
template for screensavers in QC, and in many great compositions.
Is there a method with which we can refresh that screen grab in real
time, while the qtz. patch is in "run". Is that a possible way of
accomplishing this?
So the idea is, it would be something like the screengrab input
patch in QC, fed into crop, then whatever other filers are desired,
and onto whatever renderer.....
So you could open up an image of say, the flame particle in
Processing, program the recurring "screengrab" at something like 15
per second, run that into a crop patch that crops to just the area
of the screen you want... and then feed that input into the rest of
your Quartz Composer chain.
Is this a possible way of approaching it, or is my previous idea of
just taking screenshot video, and plopping the .mov file into QC the
way to go?
Frankly, I have no problem plopping down $300 for something like
VDJX (I think that is the name....). It's just that I am irritated
that it seems like this should be able to be setup simply using the
developer tools, or even just built into OS X.
This is another thought.... an automator patch that would screengrab
at regular, very quick intervals? Then those still images could be
made into a movie file, cropped, etc.
Throwing stuff against the wall here.....

it would be really cool though if we could somehow have Processing

P.S.... Is it possible to use the java coding in the Processing
files and load them using the Java Script patch in Quartz Composer?
While confusingly similarly named, Java and Javascript are not at
all compatible or related (other than some C-like syntax
similarities). Java does not work in QuartzComposer.
