Silica is a visual rendering tool that converts quartz compositions to QuickTime movies. Users specify the length and format of the output movie and Silica does the rest. Silica is a must-have utility for visual media designers who need interoperability beyond Quartz Composer.

Export movies with a length from a few seconds up to 24 hours.
• 32-bit & 64-bit

• Background Export
New movies are created in the background, enabling you to continue working without waiting.
• Sharing
Share your output movies directly to Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter and other popular internet services.
