Quartz Crystal

so im playing around with the new crystal today and came up with some interesting ideas. i would like to be able to have some external control of crystal.

lets say i have a directory scanner on my server watching an uploads folder. when a new video is uploaded it would be great if there was someway to tell crystal from qc to start rendering "this" composition meaning the open comp with directory scanner.

i'm not sure if some apple script dictionary or network type of tools could be made for crystal but i think it would be a cool feature to have. maybe a crystal plugin that saves the open comp to another name then offline renders the saved comp from the open comp ?

not sure if i explained my self right or not. just think vimeo..... your video is waiting to be processed. that way you could apply effectsor embed water marks to uploaded content etc.. stuff like that. ;)

NetworkTools

$23.00

The NetworkTools plugin lets you send and receive data over a network, or between applications on a single computer.

HTTP Server patch

  • Receives HTTP requests. You can use commands encoded in the URL and query parameters to control your composition from another application or another computer.
  • Can receive bytes of arbitrary data in the POST body. (Note: Kineme DataTools is required to use this feature.)
  • Handles IPv6, just in case.

HTTP Query patch

  • Fetches the result of HTTP and HTTPS queries. You can download information from the web or send signals to another composition with an HTTP Server patch.
  • Supports GET and POST.
  • Supports synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) queries.
  • Can send bytes of arbitrary data in the POST body. (Requires Kineme DataTools.)

XML Parser patch

  • Parses an XML string into a structure.
  • Supports synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) parsing.

Unsupported on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and above

Please download the trial and make sure it meets your needs before purchasing. Due to bugs in Apple's Quartz Composer framework, we cannot guarantee that Kineme plugins will work properly on Mac OS 10.8 and above. Our focus has shifted to developing Vuo.
