Applescript for Lab Macs to fix video capture issue

Posted on November 3, 2004 by Wesley Wright

See original post here.

Well, my testing indicates that it is sufficient to move the files, no restart required. That makes life easier.

I have prepared and tested a simple little application, "Switch Video Applications", that lives on the desktop and toggles between Imovie Mode and Final Cut Pro mode. It has been installed on all but two of the Art Lab macs and on both the remaining macs in the CMD.

None of the macs will export from iMovie to cameras.  iMovie begins the export and then returns the error ‘connection to camera lost.’  This problem begans when the lab computers were updated.  A work around by going though Final Cut Pro is possible but clumsy.

Found the problem, but the solution is far from elegant. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93804

I started work on an Applescript that will switch "modes" n command, and hope that Apple comes up with a better fix!
