macOS QT Player Applescript generate 15 frame QT Samples

[HDcuts]

When full length clips are uploaded to server to specified folder looking to create 15 frame sample QT clips to be saved. Steps outlined:
1) Open QT player
2) Open QT movies
3) Start at 90 frames
4) Capture 15 frames
5) Save new file as 15frame_QTmoviename.mov in folder 15frameQTs

Looking for an applescript to do this.

Thanks so much for your help! 😉

use ffmpeg, this is way beyond spec for QT unfortunately
ironically, this is right up my alley, I write a program that automatically takes videos added to a folder and encodes them, it's OSS but it's a bit beyond your needs, and i don't think you'd be able to easily coax it to work by yourself in your specific situation: http://code.google.com/p/videoengine/

I can get it to work with FFMPEG however the quality is poor, I need it to keep the original video setting and quality.

I did read "A QuickTime movie may contain a preview and a poster:
- A movie preview is a very short version of a movie, typicallylessthanfivesecondsinduration. It is intendedtogivetheuseranideaofamovie’scontents.
- A movie poster is a still frame representing the movie.

How do I generate or view these?

Any help on this is appreciated. 😱

You're kind of lost, to be kind, sorry.

-vcodec copy -acodec copy will do what you want with ffmpeg
