Thanks, I hadn't initialized the QCView yet. 

This brings up a larger question: My program is a Foundation tool, so I create 
my QCView with:

    myQCView = [[QCView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(100.0, 100.0, 160.0, 
128.0)];

and then load and render my qtz composition.

Does QC actually do anything unless I insert the QCView into a window? I notice 
that when I say:

    status = [myQCView startRendering];

...there is a system process called IIDCVideoAssistant that runs at 6.5% CPU. 
(My composition accesses a Firewire camera; my program reads frames through a 
published output in the composition.) I don't see anything onscreen, but if 
it's rendering frames, I guess I'll be able to read them?
