What's New in QuickTime 5
| Previous | Chapter Contents | Chapter Top | Next |
QuickTime 5 introduces a number of new changes and additions, designed to extend AppleScript support in QuickTime Player. A suite of new editing features and commands, including clipboard support, are introduced for the first time. Cut, copy, and paste are among the new commands. The new editing features and commands can be used to automate many movie-editing and playback tasks.
Other AppleScript-supported features in this release are useful for QuickTime authors or content creators who need to automate certain processes, such as the batch preparation of QuickTime movies. Using these features, you can do more sophisticated types of processing. For example, you can tweak the settings of a QuickTime movie before you actually perform an export, or export them and then tweak the settings.
Refer to <http://www.apple.com/applescript/qtas5/qtas5p2.htm> for a collection of example scripts available in QuickTime 5. These include script applets, droplets, and compiled scripts, one of which is explained in the section "Adding Custom Media Skins with AppleScript" .
