System events can get the movie length. If you want to run it from the shell then just use osascript.
set movie_file to (choose file) as text
tell application "System Events"
set theMovie to movie file movie_file
set time_scale to time scale of theMovie
set movie_duration to duration of theMovie
end tell
set theSecs to movie_duration / time_scale
Offhand I don’t know how to rotate a movie. Probably quicktime 7 can do it and again osascript can run the command from the shell.
hi,
thanks Hank. quite interesting tip, i never thought that “system events” is capable of much of versatile.
i’ve a tecnical issue too.
Since when, 10 comes before 2? Part 10 should come after Part 9.
set frw to list folder (choose folder with prompt "seach a folder containing film strips" as text) without invisibles
i get an output like:
(*
{“botanic garden Part 1 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 10 of 10.flv”,“botanic garden Part 2 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 3 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 4 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 5 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 6 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 7 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 8 of 10.flv”, “botanic garden Part 9 of 10.flv”}
