Hello Guys, i am looking for Apple scrpt that works and acomplish this steps:
Grab the quicktime file perperties (QT inspector data such as FPS, DATA RATE, FILE SIZE and SCREEN SIZE etc )
does anyone have any idea how to acomplish, this is for Filemaker Database , so after we grab the values from Apple Scrip it should be automatically transfer to FileMaker also.
So my idea to Call to App Script with inside the FileMaker.
any help appricieated
The following two example scripts get properties for the frontmost already open movie in QuickTime Player X (the default one in Mac OS X 10.6 and later), and a second version for QuickTime Player 7 (an optional install for 10.6 an later). As you can see they offer different results.
It should be fairly straightforward for you to take these scripts and add extra lines to transfer to values in to FileMaker.
Script 1 - for QuickTime Player X

set mydocument to document 1 -- gets frontmost open movie
set myproperties to properties of mydocument -- gets properties of movie as list
