  • Thread-topic: Recording and Exporting Video with QuickTime and AppleScript

I am trying to create an AppleScript using the QuickTime 7 application. The script is supposed to simplify the process of recording video and saving it as an MP4 file onto a flash drive. So the step the script is to take is...

1. Prompt User to Record video from the camera [DONE]
2. Prompt User to Stop Recording [DONE]
3. Check to see if an external disk exists (If so most likely a flash drive) [In Progress...]
4. Save the movie USING SETTINGS File to the flash drive [Stumped]
5. Ask if the user wants to record another movie [DONE]

I want to be able to use the SAVE EXPORT SETTINGS  command to keep the settings for when I do the export in number 4. As of now, the following doesn't seem to produce a file...

tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
activate
set QTexportSettings to "QTexportSettings"
save export settings for MPEG4 to file QTexportSettings
end tell

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?
