length & size of quartz comps

is there any way to change the default length and size of quartz compositions when loaded into modul8..?

at present they show in the inspector as 30sec & 640x480..

my main issue is that my generative partners restart every 30 seconds..

(i realize exporting as quicktime is one solution - but it has its own issues)

As this is my first post after 12 months of using modul8 and much reference to this forum - a quick thanks to the M8 team & the forum members...

cheers _bAjA

I am afraid exporting as quicktime
with the desired length and resolution
is the only solution here and now.

Because of the fact, that Quartz Composer files always
restart after a given time (default is 30 sec.)
this can only be called pseudo generative.*

Even if I love M8, this is the reason
why I ogle with VDMX.

It's the only program with
proper QC integration at the moment.

So hurry M8 team ;)

Cheers,

*also because external audio and video signals
don't find their way through to the QC clips.

ok... thanks...

i thought VDMX might be the future- but after much testing and excitement at its versatility and quartz integration.. i think m8 wins on speed...

but without doubt quartz is future... so seconded hurry up m8...

I mentioned it on another post, but I back this too.
MD8 + better quartz integration=very happy MD8 users
