Compress Quicktime and Move to Server
**Function:** Selects all of the QuickTime movies in a folder, compresses them, and places them in another folder. It then moves everything in that folder to another directory (on a server, for instance) and finally erases the uncompressed QuickTime movies in the original folder.

**Notes**: Requires [Compress QuickTime to MPEG-4](http://www.automatorworld.com/2005/06/23/compress-quicktime-to-mpeg-4/) action.

Ok… so this workflow looks EXACTLY like what I’m after… find QT’s in a folder, compress them, move the result, and delete the original.. now if only I could get it to work….
Step 1. deleted the generic movie icon and replaced with a path to a particular folder(testmov)
Step 2. no changes
Step 3. no changes
Step 4. Replaced original with “Compress QuickTime using Most Recent Settings” since I can’t find the original item onlin, with “Compress.. most recent”. Chose directory for converted files as Desktop>new and chose QuickTime movie(as opposed to MPEG4)
Frankly, I was having so much trouble, I deleted the rest of the steps since they seem to deal with moving and deleting files..
Anyway.. with the first 4 steps… nothing happens..
