Karl--
Here is one approach to the script you are writing.
-- beware of line wrapping from e-mail
tell application "QuickTime Player"
launch
-- -- open movie that will be new track
open file (pathToTrackMovie as text) -- get the path however you want
rewind movie 1
select all movie 1
copy movie 1
close movie 1 saving no
-- -- open the movie that gets the new track
open file (pathToGetsNewTrackMovie as text) -- get the path however
you want
rewind movie 1
select all movie 1
add movie 1 with scaled
rewind movie 1
select movie 1 at 0 to 0
close movie 1 saving yes
end tell
You may not want to "select all" and "add movie 1 with scaled" for the
second movie. You may just want to "rewind movie 1" and "add movie 1"
depending on what you want for the new track.
I think that the resulting movie will not be self contained. If I
remember right, you can't save a movie over itself as self contained.
I found the following line in a script where I save the movie with the
new track in a temporary file, close the original movie, delete the
original movie, and then replace it with the movie saved in the
temporary file.
save movie 1 in file pTempMoviePath as self contained
Maybe your sample script to import an image as a new track had some
better way to deal with this.

Hi,
Im trying to write a script that imports a video file as a new track
in a
movie.I'm basing it around the applescript sample code that imports an
image
as a new track.
here is the line in question
set the new_track to make new track at beginning with data imagefile
The imagefile variable is selected from the file chooser,it is a .mov
movie.
The result of this line is that the script bombs out!
Any help is much appreciated.
