Hi,
Is it possible to present two movies simultaneously with QuickTime
Player?
There is a command for playing all movies, but I need them presented
(black background). After several attempts with AppleScript, I get
the vague feeling that presenting more than one movie is not what
QuickTime Player was made for.
I tried with QuickTime Pro 6 and OS X 10.1.5.
Here are my attempts (excerpts):
<AppleScript1>
ignoring application responses
present movie1 scale normal display 1
present movie2 scale normal display 2
end ignoring
</AppleScript1>
The first movie is always presented, the second won't start at all.
<AppleScript2>
enter full screen display 1
enter full screen display 2
ignoring application responses
play movie1
play movie 2
end ignoring
</AppleScript2>
Full screen is entered on both displays, movie 1 is being presented
(I position one movie on the second screen).
One suggestion in alt.comp.lang.applescript was to make one movie out
of the two and present this. I managed to paste one movie into the
other using GoLive(!) and made the movie so wide it would play on
both screens. Apart from timing problems (one part starts a couple of
seconds earlier than the other, and that's a G4/1GHz DP with 1 GB
RAM!), I cannot present them -- only one display enters full screen.
Does anyone know for sure wether QuickTime Player can present (not
just play) two movies at the same time or not?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Klaus
