export

I want to be able to write images out of QC and Apple's "Image Exporter" plugin is a good start. Unfortunately, it does not allow for custom file names, only the path. Files are always called "Image-00001.png" and the index is increased every time a new image is written.

I tried to muck around with the plugin source code to change it that the path input is used as path + filename. but it turned out i do not know enough about c#, tried but could not figure it out.

i know it is very simple, this is the relevant code snippet:

fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[Bad link]];
imageDestination = (fileURL ? CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL((CFURLRef)fileURL, kUTTypePNG, 1, NULL) : NULL);

how do i change it to use self.inputPath as the path and filename?

You can put your composition inside "Render to Image" patch and send it's output as image input to "Export to Movie" patch.

Hey all

I have just downloaded QuartzBuilder and ran the application. But the Export button is greyed out and I don't know why.

I have

• Dragged in a composition
• Filled in the App Name field
• Filled in the App Version field
• Filled in the App Version field
• Filled in the identifier field
• Filled in the copyright field
• Filled in the Help URL field

The resource inspector sees my custom plugin and a gif file. (it doesn't see all the pngs).

In advanced settings i have

• Filled in the Window Autosave Name (What is this by the way?
• Filled in the Default Window Dimensions
• Disabled full screen
• Clicked Borderless

Is there something I am missing.

Cheers
