This is a very specific request for a reader of MDN:
“I need a working AppleScript that applies a mask to the front QuickTime movie. I can’t seem to get it to work. This is the “bad” script:
tell application “QuickTime Player”
activate
set mask of track “Video Track” of movie 1 to file “Mac HD 40 GB:Users:powermac:Desktop:web_video_mask.psd”
end tell
It get’s hung up on this line:
set mask of track “Video Track” of movie 1 to file “Mac HD 40 GB:Users:powermac:Desktop:web_video_mask.psd”
I am just beginning in Applescripting. I hope that among your many readers, someone will be able to provide the answer. Thank you in advance.”
