I'm kind of newbie on applescript but not scaried on learning, in terms of feasibility it would be possible to automate operations like:

- open all the files in a folder (one by one)
That's an easy one, look at some examples for QT and ASS

- apply x effect to the clip
here you have to dive into CoreVideo
- cut n milliseconds at the begginning of the clip
here you have to dive into QT programming - and you shouldn't cut milliseconds, but frames
- cut n milliseconds at the end of the clip
s.a.
- and of course export at x size with y compression
here you have to dive into QT programming as well
The above requires to learn C and obj-C, how to create classes and sub-class existing ones etc.


You can also learn about FCP's XML language and create a FCP project that way, which will allow you to use Compressor.

in few words, which kind of limit could I have with it?
Finally none - but you have to learn a lot.


Thanks a lot, chr
