What I need to do is to send a video file to a server for processing. My workflow looks like this now:
Get Specified Finder Items Get Names of Finder Items Set Value of Variable(video file name) Get Specified Text(body of a plist) Get Value of Variable(video file name) Combine Text Strings Find and Replace(to add the variable to end of the plist) Write Text to file Run Shell script(to upload video file to server) Move file to Trash Run Applescript(delay 900 so the script will run again in 15 minutes) Loop( to get back to start of script) This will be replaced with the auto looping utility)
What is happening is that the file name is read and written to the file Running the script only uploads the plist file as if it is the video. I have been able to use a similar script to Capture with Quicktime Pro and send it using the same shell script. What I don't know is how do I get the video file to be the input to the shell script?
