Hi,
I am new to AppleScript and was wondering if there is anyone out
there that would be willing to help write a fairly straightforward
AppleScript for QuickTime Player. I am running Mac OS X 10.2.6 and
have QT 6.3 installed.
Here is what I want to do...
NASA currently receives data from a number of WSR-88D radar sites for
use in validating space-based rainfall retrievals. Once the data is
received, we create gif or png images of each radar scan and store
them on our server. With most radars scanning every 6-10 minutes, the
number of images per day is quite large. Currrently, we can take
these images and create QT movies, but this is done manually and is
not an efficient use of our resources. Thus, we would like to use
AppleScript, in combination with cron to automate the process. The
manual steps to do this are:
1) Create images in a folder named according to date (e.g. YYMMDD, where
YY = year, MM = month and DD = day).
2) "Open Image Sequence" in QT Player selecting folder YYMMDD.
3) Export movie to QT movie with defaults set. Name of exported file would be
something like Site_YYMMDD.mov.
Ideally, it would be best if this script can be executed through the
terminal or command line. Otherwise, that's it. If anyone is willing
to help, we would be very grateful and give you full credit for do so.
Thanks,
David B. Wolff
