Hi, I am a python developer, having written many applications, I now have the need for a specific command line application for manipulating certain aspects of quicktime movies. I am completely new to xcode so just want to know that what I want to do is possible before starting a long xcode learning journey.
So here is my question.....
I need to build a command line application which opens a quicktime movie and changes the audio channel name assignment. So a file has 6 mono audio tracks (all flagged as mono). I need to open the file then assign the channel flags to Left, Right, Centre, LFE, Left Surround, Right Surround, for example, and then save the file (not re-export) just save, effectively just changing the atoms.
Is this possible in Xcode?
If so where would be a good place to start?
I have attached a couple of screen shots of before and after of the changes I need to make.

Kind regards.
