I found a solution for cueing to a specific time in the QuickTime movie:

tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
set current time of document (name of front window) to (80 * (time scale of document 1))
play document (name of front window)
end tell


this jumps to 1:20

i'd still be interested how that works for chapters.

hi list (fist post),

ok, i've posted that in the QuickTime Forum, but i think theApplescript list is probably the better place.

Is it possible to cue the playhead in QuickTime to a known chapter name or simply a timecode of the movie?
here is my not working attempt


--cue to chapter in open QuickTime movie
tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	tell document 1
		set the play_point to chapter "chapter one"
		play
	end tell
end tell


or to timecode:

--cue to timecode and play open movie
tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	tell document 1
		set the play_point to "00:00:04.02"
		play
	end tell
end tell
