Thanks for the reply.Yeah,i noticed that to about the static image import
working fine.
Tried to run your script,but it throwns up a QT error after it copies the
chosen movie.Here's the log report:
tell current application
choose file
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
get movie 1
get movie 1
open alias "mscmt2003:cc10:QTSampleCode:ImageCompositing_latest:jumps.mov"
select all movie "jumps.mov"
copy movie "jumps.mov"
--> QuickTime Player got an error: An error of type -9995 has occurred.
I'm now looking into arranging the movies via Smil and exporting them as a
QT movie.There is some code (applscript smil sequencer),that looks like a
good a start as any...
Cheers

Interesting. This crashes QuickTime Player for me too, although it works
perfectly with still images. I think I will file a bug report.
(OS X 10.2.8, QT 6.3)
For now, you might consider opening the movie, copying it, and then adding
it to your other movie.
set f to choose file
tell application "QuickTime Player"
set targetMovie to movie 1
set m to (open f)
tell m
select all
copy
close saving no
end tell
tell targetMovie
add with scaled
end tell
end tell
Presumably you were using 'add at beginning' for a good reason, but if
it's layering you are thinking about, consider that tracks have a layer
property which may be manipulated.
Good luck. (Would be interested to hear how you get on).
