Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for Quartz Compositor? From what I hear, QC has been used for years to make nice screen savers for OS X and I would like to learn how to do this too. I have the latest Xcode and I'm running OS X 10.11.6 on a Mac mini (late 2012), so I should have all of the necessary tools.. I just need a tutorial for QC.
 
Its name is Quartz Composer, not Compositor.

What did you try? I simply googled: Quartz Composer tutorial screensaver

One of the top hits:
https://developer.apple.com/library...omposerUserGuide/qc_tutorial/qc_tutorial.html

There were also some other hits specifically related to screensavers, including a youtube video.
Ah, thank you for pointing out the Composer vs Compositor bit, that was probably why my searches turned up nothing of value. Much appreciated! 🙂
