Ok, After searching for over an hour yesterday, And not finding how to do it on this site, I thought I would share here how to do it. I found out how to do it from here. I modified it to make it real easy for Y’all.
- Open a movie representative of the kind you’d like to export
- Choose “Export” from the “File” menu
- Select the desired export kind from the “Export:” popup menu (Movie to QuickTime movie in this example)
- Click the “Options…” button to specify your custom settings, then click OK
- Note that the “Use:” popup menu now displays “Most Recent Settings”
- Start the export by clicking on the “Save” button (if you don’t start an export the “Most Recent Settings” won’t stick)
- Cancel the export if it is a long one
- To double-check the export settings, select the “Export…” menu item again. The “Export:” popup in the export dialog should indicate the last export performed and the “Use:” popup should display “Most Recent Settings”. Click on the “Options…” button to confirm that the settings are indeed what you desire (you can skip this step once you gain confidence that this process actually works).
- Without closing the open movie, run the following AppleScript
display dialog "1) Open a movie representative of the kind you'd like to export
2) Choose 'Export' from the 'File' menu
3) Select the desired export kind from the 'Export:' popup menu (Movie to QuickTime movie in this example)
4) Click the 'Options...' button to specify your custom settings, then click OK
5) Note that the 'Use:' popup menu now displays 'Most Recent Settings'
6) Start the export by clicking on the 'Save' button (if you don't start an export the 'Most Recent Settings' won't stick)
7) Cancel the export if it is a long one
8) To double-check the export settings, select the 'Export...' menu item again. The 'Export:' popup in the export dialog should indicate the last export performed and the 'Use:' popup should display 'Most Recent Settings'. Click on the 'Options...' button to confirm that the settings are indeed what you desire (you can skip this step once you gain confidence that this process actually works)."
set file2save to (choose file name default location (path to desktop) default name "setting.set")
tell application "Finder"
if exists file file2save then
delete file file2save -- moves it to the trash
end if
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
tell first document
save export settings for QuickTime movie to file2save
end tell
end tell
– That AppleScript will prompt you where you want to save it.
