Scripting Wait Times

Greetings,

I am a bit new to Applescript and need some help.

I have figured out how to make a simple script get Apple Video Player to save a picture from a camera feed I have coming in to my composite input.

tell application "Apple Video Payer"
save video
end tell


What I want to be able to do is to have it save a pict file every 30 seconds into a folder I have on the desktop (instead of the folder where the application resides). I can live with the editor telling me:

Expected end of line but found ".

when I use: save video in folder "Mac OS 8.6:Desktop:picts", but would really like to know how to tell the script to wait 30 seconds and save another image. I have scanned the _Applescript Language Guide_ but have not been able to find anything related to delay, wait, or time (except timeout) commands.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Mark
