or am I just a moron who can't figure it out for himself....
I use a variety of packages to make screen imagery for movies & tv
shows....director, flash, keynote(!!) FCP, af/x & the like....anything
from a web page to a email to a news program to, well, just about
anything you might see on a computer screen or a TV...yeah, I'm the
guy that allows he cops to zoom in on a license plate from 2 blocks
away with a camera in an ATM...we also did this ( & got some geek
flack for it)

one overriding factor in creating stuff for computer screens is that
whatever plays, must play full-full screen (no menu bar or windows of
any kind)
ergo, we use keynote (a lot) to make full-screen 'desktops' & whatnot,
showing whatever it is the actor is pretending to do....
so here's where QC comes into play & the reason for my question after
lurking for awhile....
we created a QC program to simply take a video stream from the
firewire input & make it float over a 'desktop'....basically making a
'iChat', but without the iChat interface (see link above)...we also
use it to simulate a photographer feeding a photoshop-esque-type
screen with a live feed from a digital still camera....
this worked like a charm in Tiger, but seems to have died in Leopard
perplexing to say the least...dunno if we missed a memo or are just
missing some no hook or somesuch
any ideas from this esteemed group?
and while we're at it, what would REALLY make my entire week, wold be
if someone could explain to me why the live input gag saved a
quicktime won't work once embedded into a keynote...cuz if I could get
THAT to work it would be just, just, just....really, really cool
Thanks in advance
Mike
