If it can help, I could get that to work:
set w to document 1
make new annotation at end of annotations of w with properties {full
text:"Bill", name:"Artist"}

I'm a relative newbie. I'm trying to write a script that will
activate QuickTime Player 7 (so that I can have access to the
Annotations) record a movie using the iSight Camera, and then
prompt the user to enter his or her name and other information (to
follow). I'm having trouble telling QT7 to set the annotation. Any
help would be very appreciated. Here is what I have so far. The
first part works -- QT7 opens and records the movie, and the
script seems to capture the user input. The error message I get
follows.
-------
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
new movie recording
tell document 0 to start
delay 5 -- make this 300 in final
tell document 0 to stop
-- get user input
display dialog "Please tell us your name
Then hit \"Return\" when finished" default answer ""
set varUserName to text returned of the result
tell front document
set the full text of annotation "Author" to varUserName
end tell
end tell
------
Here is the error message, were "Bill" is the text I entered in
the dialog box --
error "QuickTime Player 7 got an error: Can’t set annotation
\"Author\" of document 1 to \"Bill\"." number -10006 from
annotation "Author" of document 1 to «class Bill»
Thanks.

Change the last tell to the following:
tell front document set the full text of *** its *** annotation
"Author" to varUserName
Remove the ***
But mind you that you will only see this annotation via script.
It will not show up in the info window.
