It's not my project. I'm simply testing your sample project titled "QTKit
Create Movie.rbp." After some more playing around with it I find that it works
the first time; that is, it creates a file named "test.mov" on the desktop and
plays it with QT player. However, if the file already exists it will no longer
play and there is no error. I changed one of the draw parameters to make sure
that the movie file was indeed being recreated and find that it is, it just
will not play if the file already existed. While the app is running I can
navigate to my desktop and play the movie manually. Your demo code is below
with my notes.
----------------
// where to write?
dim outputfile as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.mov")
// create movie file
dim e as NSErrorMBS
dim q as QTKitMovieMBS = QTKitMovieMBS.CreateMovieWithFile(outputfile, e)
// create duration for the picture
dim duration as QTKitTimeMBS = new QTKitTimeMBS(20, 600)
// create a picture
dim p as new Picture(500,500,32)
dim g as Graphics = p.Graphics
// prepare
g.ForeColor = &cFFFFFF
g.FillRect 0,0,500,500
g.PenWidth = 10
g.PenHeight = 10
// let's add 501 frames
for i as integer = 0 to 500
// draw something. e.g. a line
g.ForeColor = &cFF0000
g.drawline 0, 0, i,i
// After successfully running once I changed the 2nd drawline parameter to i to
make sure that
// the movie file was in fact being overwritten with a new one which it was. It
simply will not play
// unless the original file is deleted.
// add the image
dim image as new NSImageMBS(p)
q.addImage image, duration, "tiff", QTKitModuleMBS.codecHighQuality
next
// save file
if q.updateMovieFile then
q = nil
outputfile.Launch // This works only if the file did not exist in the first
place
else
MsgBox "Failed"
end if
-------------
It's certainly nothing tragic but, I'm just trying understand why this happens.
