Hello
I am trying to setup an AppleScript in a workflow to convert avi files to movs using Quicktime X. I can do this manually by opening the avi file in QTX, File->Save As->Format: Movie. The process takes less than minute for a 500MB file. There is a predefined automator action to export movies, but its taking me like 20 minutes for 25% of the job and I am yet to have the patience to let it get done, comparing to the time the "save as" takes. I have looked after some references on the web but things seems to have changed a bit on QTX applescript Dictionary.
This is what I am trying to do:
save front document in newFile as QuickTime movie
It does not compile because the word 'movie' is not recognized.
This is what the QTX dictinonary says:
save*v : Save a document.
save specifier : The document(s) or window(s) to save.
in file : The file in which to save the document.
as saveable file format : The file format to use.
So it seems i am not using a correct specifier for a saveable file format. Could I get any help?
Thanks!
