I downloaded it, I made the change (movies to documents), and works fine. For beginners to Automator, just click on the “QuickTime Pro Concatenate Movies” file, it opens Automator, click on the PLay button on the top right hand corner.. and go.

Note that the (movies => documents) change must also been done at the step #2 (Quicktime opening), and at the step #7 (5th line).

As for me, the last problem is that : each time you add a new file, the popup finder window BEGINS at Desktop… How can it start in the same folder I just used before ?

Thanks for any clue.

This is actually pretty simple to fix, but it took me a bit to track it down — basically, movies looks like it used to be an applescript object (probably an array) that contained currently open movies, so it was basically copying the contents of that into another variable.

There’s now a variable in Leopard Automator Movies which contains the path to the current user’s Movies subdirectory, which may be why it was deprecated.

Anyway, changing the line

set openedMovies to count movies

to

set openedMovies to count documents

seems to have fixed it for me. I also removed the step that filters out all files except .mov, since I figure I’ll generally know not to open word documents with this, and I might need to concatenate non-.mov video files.

“The variable |movies| is not defined. (-2753)”

It was my first time using Automator and I got this error. What goes?
