Recording Quicktime Player using Applescript on Mavericks?

Question

I have this simple code:

tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
new screen recording
document "Screen Recording" start
delay 10
document "Screen Recording" stop
end tell

Records a 10 second movie on my 10.8 computer without any problems. But at 10.9 the mac-mini QT freezes when the stop above is in effect. He hangs at the window with the message "End recording." I have to make him go out and everything is the same. If I do these steps manually, they will work. But with AppleScript or even with the same steps with Automator they have the same problem.

I updated to 10.9.2, but still the same problem.

Is this a known bug? Any job offers?

Thank.

Answer 1

I am doing something similar for recording a screen from CI, and it always works for me:

set filePath to (path to desktop as string) & "ScreenRecordingFile.mov"

tell application "System Events" to tell process "Simulator"
	set frontmost to true
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	set newScreenRecording to new screen recording
	delay 1
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "QuickTime Player"
			set frontmost to true
			key code 49
		end tell
	end tell
	tell newScreenRecording
		start
		delay 15
		stop
	end tell
	export document 1 in (file filePath) using settings preset "720p"
	close document 1 saving no
end tell
