Im very happy to be able to release our Rutt/Etra emulation plugin, as it has been a long time in the works. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to work with Bill Etra to make this plugin as authentic to the as possible. Steve Rutt and Bill Etra originally began work on the Rutt Etra in 1972, and its look is still as modern and interesting as ever. Bill now lives in New York City, on disability.

If you find this plugin, or any other plugins here useful, please donate any amount you feel appropriate. The proceeds will go to helping Bill Etra continue to pursue his lifes work. Check out the Rutt Etra plugin page for the free download and more information from Bill.

v002 Movie Player beta 2 has a few useful updates. Relative paths now work, as well as compatibility with the Directory Scanner patch. Fixed a bug/incompatibility with QTVisualContextTask() and the QC context image provider convenience methods - we now supply our own QCPluginOutputImageProvider class and handle drawing ourselves. This means eventually we can handle various aperture modes supported from within Quicktime/Core Video as well. Also added signal start/stop/reset, and normalized, non-normalized time outputs, as well as duration outputs. All in all a nice update.

Ive decided to release some beta plugins for folks to use and test.

First up is a new Movie Player plugin for Quartz Composer. This plugin attempts to give more control over the higher performance Asynchronous Mode of the built in movie player, but with more useful inputs and outputs available.

Next up are 3 new glitch plugins, that have to be played with to be appreciated. See the sidebar for links…
