Hi All,

Back to scripting Quicktime with Applescript, I assess the following line now fails :

Code Block open image sequence seq1 frames per second 24

What I want it to automate .mov generation form numerous and large jpeg image sets, in Quicktime, through pure Applescript or Automate.

I have spent hours on Google to sort it out and it seems there are no recent talks on such an issue.

What is the issue ?

Any helps or scriptlet will be much appreciated

Can you clarify what you mean by “now”? Did it previously work? If so, what changed?

Did you ever find an answer to this? I hit the same issue.

I suspect that this support was dropped as part of the move away from QuickTime Player 7. I downloaded an old copy of that and it does include an open image sequence command. Unfortunately that won’t help you on modern systems because they no longer support QuickTime Player 7.

I’m not aware of any obvious replacement, but this is hardly my field. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
