Is it possible to run avconvert, the video encoder, with applescript?

I've seen some demonstrations of using the built in encoding feature with automator or in with a command line but can you tell it in applescript?


tell application "avconvert"

resize selected video to 480p

endtell


Or how do you run avconvert in a command line through applescript?


Just starting out on the applescripting so please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks in advance, Craig.

In Applescript Editor, select Open Dictionary from the File menu. Browse for avconvert and open it. If it is grayed out, it doesn't have an applescript library. If you can open it, the dictionary shows all the commands you can use with the program.
