Create your own Apple TV Screen Savers

Over at AwkwardTV, Eric Steil III has added a new tutorial showing you how to build Apple TV compatible screen savers. In a nutshell, if you can create your own or copy an existing Quartz Composition, you can incorporate it into an XCode project to build an Apple TV compatible frss plug-in. You'll need to feel comfortable with both XCode and Quartz to make the most of this tutorial.

ChatFX - video effects within iChat

ChatFX can bring some fun to your iChat video conferences by adding quirky video effects; basically it's like Apple's Photo Booth for iChat. Using the power of Quartz Composer (built into Mac OS X 10.4), ChatFX can apply eight different effects to your video conference in real time, including a green-screen effect for that perfect "sure, I'm still at school/the office" cover story. Using  the green screen, you can even place a movie in the background - the sky's the limit with that feature.

ChatFX offers a demo download and sells for $20.
