Split QuickTime movies into equal-sized sections
Authored by: dotcommer1 on Aug 15, '06 07:33:22PM

Pretty useful, but is there a way to remove the code for exporting in gp, and instead having it export in say, Quicktime movie format, or MP4? This might come in handy when i have a large movie and want to chop it up real quick for posting on the web.

Yes, you can modify the script slightly to have it export as whatever format you like...

1.

find the line:
set theFile to (theFolder & theTitle & "_" & theSlice) & ".3gp" as string

change '3gp' to whatever extension you like.

2.

find the line:
export movie 1 to file theFile as ThreeGPP using most recent settings

and change ThreeGPP to anything listed in the QuickTime applescript library, e.g. AVI, BMP, QuickTime movie.

Hope that helps.
