performance

Can someone advise me if a MacBook Pro with the discreet Geforce 9600M GT performs significantly better (QC, OpenGL, GLSL, Core Image) then the ones with the integrated 9400M only. I wonder because I use QC a lot for visualisation and about to purchase a new MacBook, but would prefer the 13" which has only the 9400M.

Thanks

Hello All!

I am new to quartz composer, but avidly finding my way around. I am working on a new performance that involves switching between four patches running different effects, I have the composition set up so that I key command switching between video feeds/patches. My problem is I would like to fade to black in between each composition and then fade into the next one. I imagine this is pretty simple to some, Any ideas?

I have also been trying to get this work with Qlab loading the quartz compositions, but I cant seem to get the fader to work for the video feed. Perhaps someone has worked with quartz and Qlab before! Help my performance is getting closer!!!

Merci.

Hi,

is that possible to load .mov files directly to the memory before playback starts from the hard drive?

When i played 4-5 mov (10-30mb) files from my fw400 hdd the fps amount goes down.

Here some benchmarks for some generators in Quartz composer : Sprite - billboard - Apple Line - Kineme GLpoint, GLLine, GLSpline .

See the file.
