So, my set of images are sequentially named tif's, the issue appears to
lie with where the images reside however...
If I move images onto my local drive the both of the examples given by
Jake below work just fine, however, my images reside on an automounted
NFS volume, so their path resembles something like:
set pictureFile to
"private:Network:Servers:server:name:mount:directory:image001.tif"
We have symbolic links set up in our file systems also coming from the
root of the local drive - i.e.:
set pictureFile to "Macintosh
HD:symlink:server:name:mount:directory:image001.tif"
both open QuickTime, but neither even appear to attempt to open the
files...
I'm guessing there's something I don't understand about invisible
directories and applescript?
Cheers for the help thus far,
Andrina

Hi Andrina,
I've looked around for an answer to this, but I can't seem to find
anything
relating to opening a sequence of tif files (or any other image
format for
that matter) in QuickTime Pro. I've tried with the script below, and
I've
tried setting the pictureFile to just the directory where the tif
files reside
- the Applescript activates QuickTime, but doesn't open any files -
nor does
it produce an error...
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
set pictureFile to "Macintosh HD:path:to:file.tif"
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open image sequence pictureFile
end tell
Two ways to do this:
set pictureFile to "Macintosh HD:path:to:file.tif"
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open image sequence file pictureFile
end tell
OR
set pictureFile to "Macintosh HD:path:to:file.tif" as alias
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open image sequence pictureFile
end tell
You can also specify frames per second:
open image sequence pictureFile frames per second 15
Cheers,
Jake
