Hi Jason

Seeing as nobody has said it yet: kineme.net

Hundreds and thousands(?) of threads with compositions often going back and forth. From novice to fairly advanced discussions.

As for keynote it is pretty quick at a few tasks but if you want to roll your own, create stuff in QC and place the .qtz file onto the keynote slide.

Certain functionality's are precluded by Keynote not being a safe app (hope I put that the right way I'm not very techie) like keyboard and mouse inputs. Kineme have a tool to work around that limitation on .qtz comps used in apps but I'm yet to confirm it's a work around in Keynote.

Also what Achim said, there's nothing like being self taught (wry smile of wiriness).

Best

Dear QC Experts,

I'm trying to learn from QC to create content to brand some podcasts I hope to produce with podcast producer. (These are podcasts for courses and research experiences at University.) I've used a bunch of Google to find examples and tutorials to work through, and that has gone reasonably well. I've lurked on this list for a while, and much has gone straight over my head.

The examples that ship with OS X's Developer's Tools intrigue me, and I was hoping that there is some document somewhere that explains some or all of these examples. Is there anything 'out there'? For example, I'd like to be able to decipher the 'Scanner.qtz' document.

There are also several QTZ files that I'd like to understand in the Quartz Composer -> Examples -> Patches.

Are there other notable stores of example QTZ files out there that I could learn from? At what point should I generate content in QC as opposed to generating it with Keynote's functionality?

Thanks in advance for whatever pointers list members can share.

Jason
