hi,
I'm trying to write an applescript that starts a video recording in QuickTime player, stops it, and then writes it to disk. I've tried the following:
set filename to "~/test.mov"
tell application "QuickTime Player"
set newmovie to new movie recording
start newmovie
delay 2
stop newmovie
save newmovie in filename
end tell
That does start and stop a recording, but when it comes to saving I get an error number -1728.
The actual error message is in German: >>error "„QuickTime Player“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: „document \"Videoaufnahme\"“ kann nicht gelesen werden." number -1728 from document "Videoaufnahme"<<, in English presumably "document `new movie recording' (or whatever the default name of a new movie recording is)" cannot be read". Which is true, because the document is called "Videoaufnahme.mov", or, if there already is one "Videoaufnahme 1.mov" (etc. etc.). But how do I get the real filename. And why does newmovie not have the correct name.
(What I'm actually trying to achieve is to start video recording with one script, and then stop and save with another. But for now I'd be happy if I can just start, stop and save in one script...)
Thanks!
David.
