Applescript for quicktime audio track labelling and assigning

[tuco102]

Hello all!

I’m very new to this scripting business so forgive my ineptness at this.

I work in media and am constantly having to label video files within quicktime to send off to a client. This is very tedious work when you have 50 video files to do with 24 audio tracks each.

Luckily i found a script online which i have slightly modified and added to over the past few months. But I’ve hit a brick wall.

First of all here is the script for labelling and assigning quicktime audio tracks if anyone is interested in using it:

[b]on open myFileList

-- Allows script to be used in either Leopard or Snow Leopard
-- Sets the name of appID "com.apple.quicktime" --> qtPlayer
tell application "Finder"
	set qtPlayer to name of application "QuickTime Player 7"
end tell

-- Makes the target application the active window
tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
	activate
	repeat with myFile in myFileList
		set myMovie to (open myFile)
		
		-- Call on "System Events" for QuickTime Player 7
		tell application id "com.apple.systemevents"
			tell process qtPlayer
				
				-- Shows Movie Properties
				tell menu bar 1
					tell menu bar item "Window"
						tell menu "Window"
							click menu item "Show Movie Properties"
							activate
						end tell
					end tell
				end tell

Now what i really need from this script at this point is to be able to process multiple video files at once, at the moment i have to drag each video file on top of the script and wait for it to finish and then do the next one. Would anyone be able to help me modify this to be able to select multiple files in which it will repeatedly go through a file list one by one until the end of said list?

Many thanks for your help and i hope this script comes in use for someone else as well.

Cheers!

Hi,

actually the script is designed to handle multiple files. Just select 2 or more files and drag them onto the droplet.

I shrinked the script a bit by using repeat loops. Hope it works, I don’t have such a specific movie file to test it.
QT 7 has a quite huge AppleScript dictionary. I’m wondering if it’s possible to set the Mono and language properties without GUI scripting

property numberOfTracks : 24

on open myFileList
	
	-- Allows script to be used in either Leopard or Snow Leopard
	-- Sets the name of appID "com.apple.quicktime" --> qtPlayer
	tell application "Finder"
		set qtPlayer to name of application "QuickTime Player 7"
	end tell
	
	-- Makes the target application the active window
	activate application "QuickTime Player 7"
	
	repeat with myFile in myFileList
		tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to open myFile
		
		-- Call on "System Events" for QuickTime Player 7
		tell application id "com.apple.systemevents"
			tell process qtPlayer
				
				-- Shows Movie Properties
				tell menu bar 1
					tell menu bar item "Window"
						tell menu "Window"
							click menu item "Show Movie Properties"
							activate
						end tell
					end tell
				end tell
				
				repeat with i from 1 to numberOfTracks
					-- add 2 to the index variable to match the row number
					select row (i + 2) of table 1 of scroll area 1 of window 1
					
					tell tab group 1 of window 1
						click radio button 3
						tell pop up button 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1
							click
							click menu item "Mono" of menu 1
						end tell
						
						click radio button 4
						tell pop up button 3
							click
							click menu item "English" of menu 1
						end tell
					end tell
				end repeat
			end tell
		end tell
		
		tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
			repeat with i from 1 to numberOfTracks
				set name of track ("Sound Track " & i) of document 1 to "TEMPLATE"
			end repeat
			close document 1 saving yes
			close every window
		end tell
	end repeat
end open

Sorry i may have not described my issue properly - the script i posted is a template, in actual use it would be modified and look like the following:

on open myFileList

-- Allows script to be used in either Leopard or Snow Leopard
-- Sets the name of appID "com.apple.quicktime" --> qtPlayer
tell application "Finder"
    set qtPlayer to name of application "QuickTime Player 7"
end tell

Unfortunately this script doesnt work with multiple files, it only acknowledges the first file dropped onto it. I need it to acknowledge the first and run the script and then move onto the others once processed.

Thankyou so much for trying to shorten and simplify this script and its awesome that you have done that, but unfortunately every single channel is always assigned and named something different with multiple languages, theyre never always the same. So i wouldnt be able to use your shortened version

Thankyou for your help however! its much appreciated!

the repeat loop

repeat with myFile in myFileList

is supposed to handle multiple files.

GUI scripting could be very time consuming and while the script is running any user action is forbidden which probably will break the script.
In the script all rows are selected twice which makes the script still slower. In my version I merged both actions so each row is only selected once.
Maybe there is an issue with the save and close GUI scripting part of QT7. It’s better to save and close using AppleScript QT terminology
