[QLab] Live Video Input

[Christopher Ashworth]

Hi Steve,

Try exporting the Quartz composer file as a quicktime movie, and then  
bringing that file into QLab. Not certain that will work, but it may.   
I haven't checked the live feed via Quartz Composer in a long time,  
and have some recollection that they (Apple) may have made changes  
that prevented it from working in QLab in recent versions.
