Re: transparent background app

if you put your assets folder in the Contents folder of the bundle, along with your mainComposition.qtz, and tell the source to be ./ assets/blah, does it work?

if you open the composition manually with the assets folder path with a ./prepended, does that work? send along the comp...

Thanks guys, thats awesome. I appreciate all the tips on windowless
QC rendering. I had it working perfectly... until it just stopped
working! My QC patch is loading an xml file in an assets folder
(assets/data.xml) and loading in jpgs (again from the assets folder),
I'm guessing it has something to do with that. When I run the
composition from QC it works fine, when I run the .app all I see is
the background (the assets folder is next to the .app file so relative
path should work).  Is this a security issue? Are there any
complications in loading xml files from compositions embedded in an
.app? I noticed if I export my composition to a .mov from QC it also
doesn't work (can only see background).

Enjoy :)
  That's really cool, thanks for providing this code!
  I have one suggestion, though: Add the timer to the various run
loop modes at the end of the -applicationDidFinishLaunching in
AppController.m. It should look like this:
   ////   //   // setup a simple timer to call our render function
//   ////
  mainTimer = [NSTimer
scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)(1/30.0) target:self
selector:@selector(render) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
  [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:mainTimer
forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];   [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
addTimer:mainTimer forMode:NSModalPanelRunLoopMode];   [[NSRunLoop
currentRunLoop] addTimer:mainTimer
forMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode];
  [mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
   That way the composition does not stop rendering while the
user
selects something in the menu or while the open file panel is visible.
