QuickTime Export window

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

The export command mentioned below is working fine. But, the export progress status is displayed in the front document and it doesn’t allow to do any other activity in QuickTime Player until exporting is completed.

export to file "path:to:movfile" as QuickTime movie using settings "path:to:settings" replacing yes

Is there any options to use with export command to display the export progress status in a separate export window? Like exporting manually in QuickTime.

Normally when an event (in this case your export command) is send to the system your script wait for a response. with ignore application reponses you can skip this waiting time (variables won’t get set either of course).

Thank you Bazzie for the response. But, the export progress is still showing in the front document. The following is the code I tried. Maybe something wrong in the script.


tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
	activate
	ignoring application responses
		tell first document			
			export to file "MacOSXHD:Users:dayakar:Desktop:export-settings:masterfile-export.mov" as QuickTime movie using settings "MacOSXHD:Users:dayakar:Desktop:export-settings:movforyoutube.set" replacing yes			
		end tell
	end ignoring
end tell
