Hey - thanks for the pointer that Bernd. That looks good on the Mac - looking at the AppleScript Dictionary it seems to have doubled in features since I last checked! Also looks like it is fully supported for scripting from VB and even JavaScript on Windows. 2009/8/3 BNig > > > >The images need

Practical? Yes. Acceptable - maybe not? That is a 17MB download is in the days of Word-of-Warcraft Patches is nothing, and you "could" go to the trouble of embedding the app and installing it from Rev.

David, VLC looks interesting, in terms of having Rev gather whatever is happening on the screen and turning it into a movie. But is it practical to have the core VLC application (and associated files, whatever they may be) installed on the users computer, along with a Rev app? The VLC downloa

David, I'm assuming this is the way it would work (using the clipboard and qtPaste), based on the available EQT commands. I'll be testing it on Monday. I thought if one pasted an image at a given time, the image would remain visible in the movie for x period of time until it was replaced by a

VLC is cross platform, and (very) controllable via the command line. It has screen grabbing functionality, which though pretty recent works OK and is likely to get much better over time. You can even stream the live screen grabs. I'll be working on this over the coming months for a project in Londo

Hi Mark, So is this basically a matter of taking repeated screen shots through Rev and piecing these together into a movie through the EQT functions? I suppose one can then overlay an audio track as well. Is that the basic game plan? Thanks. Richard Mark Schonewille wrote: Hi Richard,

Hi Richard, Revolution can do this by itself. A good example is Snapper Screen Recorder, which you can find at . This application uses the EnhancedQ external. Particularly on Mac OS X, I'm getting great results. Windows is a different story, but I hope t
