Okay, I am stuck here!
This script snippet does NOT work: QT player quits without comment.
with timeout of 3600 seconds -- one hour per movie time limit
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
try
tell application "Finder"
set new_file to (path to desktop as string) & "test_movie.mov"
end tell
-- export the movie as hinted movie
export movie 1 to file new_file as QuickTime movie using settings
alias "Digital:resources:quicktime player bits:sd_pixlet_1.5.qtes" with
replacing
--else
but if I change to this:
set new_file to "tategoi:Users:watts:Desktop:test_movie.mov" it works
fine.
Ideally I would like to say something like this:
set myprompt to "Please pick a name for your masterpiece!" export movie
1 to file (choose file name with prompt myprompt default name
"myshot.mov" as string) as QuickTime movie using settings alias
"Digital:resources:quicktime player bits:sd_pixlet_1.5.qtes" with
replacing
But this fails in the same way.
Oddly, this: (path to desktop as string) & "test_movie.mov" as string
returns this: "tategoi:Users:watts:Desktop:test_movie.mov"
Thanks!
watts
