QC's "Clear" patch, by default, fills the canvas with **alpha-transparent** blackness. Exhibit 1:
<<inline: Screen shot 2010-09-06 at 17.09.37.png>>
Three Quartz Compositions loaded in Arkaos GrandVJ. From left to right:
1. No "Clear" Patch --- The video framebuffer is left as-is, from
whatever last used it. The Z-Buffer retains whatever garbage was previously in
it, so renderers relying on depth testing (such as the "Sphere") will glitch.
2. Default "Clear" Patch, Transparent Black --- The alpha channel of
the background is forcibly set to transparent. Arkaos GrandVJ represents
alpha-transparent as checkerboard, in the preview window.
3. "Clear" Patch, Black with 100% Opacity --- The alpha channel of the
background is forcibly set to fully-opaque black.
Sounds like you're looking for #3.
