Ok, here’s what I have going. I have a watch folder that opens any files it gets with 2 different compressor droplets. One creates a high-res clip, the other creates a low-res, deinterlaced clip. They output to two different folders. I have a script on the second folder that needs to do a few things.
A) wait for any incoming files to finish before starting. This means don’t do anything if there are still .mov-1 files in the folder.
B) move the outputed files to a server share, sorting them by number.
C) move the output files of the first folder to a local drive, also sorting by number.
D) delete the original file.
Now, I’ve gotten it to work sometimes, but it’s not reliable. If Compressor works quickly, it will only sort the last file outputted. Some times it will do steps A and B but then stop. What’s going wrong here?

duplicate this_item to folder (rel_digits & "000s") of folder "/share/"
move lib_item to folder (text 1 thru 2 of (file_digits) & "000s") of folder "Commercial Library" of folder "RAID Storage 700"
move file (":Raid storage 700:new captures:archiving:" & file_name) to trash
move this_item to trash
