    <p>I want to extract the timecode from a quicktime movie in Applescript.</p> <p>By using this script</p> <pre><code>tell application "QuickTime Player" set themovie to open thefile set thetracks to tracks of document 1 repeat with thetrack in thetracks if the kind of thetrack is "Timecode" then get the properties of thetrack end if end repeat end tell </code></pre> <p>I can get the timecode track, the properties of the track are:</p> <blockquote> <p>{is audio variable rate:true, is video gray scale:false, audio sample size:0, class:track, audio sample rate:0.0, sound balance:0, preload:false, streaming bit rate:-1.0, duration:960300, language:"English", audio channel count:0, layer:0, contents:missing value, bass gain:0, start time:0, data format:"Timecode", treble gain:0, audio characteristic:false, sound volume:0, mask:missing value, video depth:0, position:{0, 0}, id:4, high quality:false, deinterlace fields:false, href:"", natural dimensions:{0, 0}, single field:false, kind:"Timecode", index:4, data size:38412, visual characteristic:false, data rate:100, never purge:false, transparency:49, chapterlist:{}, name:"Timecode Track", alternate:{}, operation color:{32768, 32768, 32768}, enabled:true, type:"tmcd", streaming quality:-1.0, transfer mode:transfer mode unknown, dimensions:{0, 0}, current matrix:{{1.0, 0.0, 0.0}, {0.0, 1.0, 0.0}, {0.0, 0.0, 1.0}}}</p> </blockquote> <p>none of which seems to have anything to do with the timecode. Note that the contents property is "missing value"</p> <p>If I try to get the current time of the movie it returns 0, even if the timecode doesn't start at 0.</p> <p>I'm thinking by what I've found on the net so far that this is impossible. Please prove me wrong</p> <p>TIA -stib</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
