Simple Playback

Play your Quartz Compositions directly without having to compile them in Xcode.

Customization

Change your composition’s input parameters without the need to re-edit in Quartz Composer.

Render Rate Control

Limit the maximum number of frames when rendering to achieve smoother playback.

32-bit & 64-bit

Works equally well with plug-ins built using either 64-bit or (legacy) 32-bit mode.

Event Handling

Control whether keyboard and mouse events are sent directly to the currently rendering composition.

Easy Integration

Use autostarted documents with iCal, AppleScript or as a Login Item to control scheduled playback.
