Enable high quality and set presentation size
This script will only recognize NTSC sized DV video layers. It will set the
"high quality enabled" flag on the video layer and set the presentation size to 640x480
so the aspect ratio will be correct when the movie is viewed with Movie Player.
Usage: This script is a "droplet". You can drop one or more movie icons onto the droplet
and it will make changes to all of the movie files that it recognizes.
Split Movie into 9 minute Sections
This script replaces Mov2DVparts and does work with Quicktime 7!
iMovie, and some non-volatile storage systems have a limit to how large a file can
be accepted or stored. Due to storage limits and the arbitrary 2GB limit set by
iMovie, it becomes necessary, at times, to split a movie into sections for later
reassembly. This script performs this function in a frame-accurate fashion. It will
generate a series of movie files from a single Quicktime source. This version does not
convert the movie format. The length of each new segment is not selectible. You can
edit the script with script editor, but the version included will save 9 minute
segments. Setting the segment length to 3 minutes (about 620MB for miniDV) would enable
storage of the movie on standard CD-R disks.
You can change the clip size by editing the
script in your AppleScript editor (provided with the Mac OS). You'll need to open the
editor and use it to open the script. Once you have the script open in the editor,
scan for the line that contains "9 * 60", which represents the number of
seconds of each segment. Change the first number to the number of minutes, or replace
all 3 tokens with the number of seconds if you don't want an even number of minutes.
Usage: This script works on an already opened movie. You must first open the
source movie in Movie Player (Quicktime Pro), then double-click the script icon to begin
the export process. You will be prompted to select an export folder.
