Do i need set some permissions to save a file via Applescript or is it a problem with the code?  

It's a problem with the code. Try:

export front document in file filePath using settings preset "480p"

I'm not sure why you had curly brackets in there.

Commands like open/export/save take a file or alias. In a lot of cases you can pass a path, and it gets converted to a file on-the-fly. But you can't do that with a sandboxed app -- they insist on some kind of file object. And QuickTime is sandboxed.

02/05/14 21.36.31,014 QuickTime Player[28106]: .sdef warning for argument 'FileType' of command 'save' in suite 'Standard Suite': 'saveable file format' is not a valid type name.

That means there's a bug in QuickTime Player's scripting dictionary, in the save command. You should report the error.
