This application uses FXRuby and the RubyOSA (rbosa) AppleScript library to control
QuickTime Pro on Mac OS X.
The program automates the process of storing national commercial auditions online. Before this
solution, the camera operators, who videotaped the auditions, needed to manually export each movie
to a file, manually export the first frame of a movie as a thumbnail, make sure both files were named
according to a convention, and then manually upload the file through FTP. (They also had a system to
associate an actor??™s digital profile with a movie; if the users wanted to use this, the process became
even more complicated.)
Using the new application, the users simply entered the actor??™s information, clicked Start, clicked
Stop, and then clicked Upload. This sped up the process considerably.
If the solution were a web application, it would have been impossible to control QuickTime in order
to export the movies and thumbnails. The camera operators would have needed to do it by hand, which
would slow them down and cost money.
