Yes, now I see what you mean.

tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open file (choose file)
copy movie 1
end tell

...gives you a picture on the clipboard which FileMaker recognises as a
movie if it is pasted into the container field.

*BUT*...

The same picture pasted into FileMaker in "Layout" mode, then cut and pasted
into the container field, does work :-)

How you script that will depend on your db, and whether you want to do it in
AS or as a FileMaker script. But hopefully the above is enough to get you
started.
