Dear AppleScript peeps,
MovingImages is a powerful scripting tool for post-production video editing on OS X Yosemite
MovingImages is driven by JSON command objects, which means that any scripting language that can generate JSON on OS X can work with MovingImages, in the case of AppleScript you can generate property list files and then ask MovingImages to process them. For ruby I have written the moving_images gem that works with MovingImages. The ruby gem is installed along with the two other MovingImages components.
AppleScript can be used as the scripting language for MovingImages as this short script demonstrates.

If you like the look of MovingImages and are considering writing an AppleScript library to wrap the creation of property lists please do not hesitate to ping me and I will be at your service to help you get started and available to answer any questions you may have along the way.

MovingImages integrates three of Apple’s graphics technologies. These are the drawing engine CoreGraphics, the image filter processing engine CoreImage and the video editing platform AVFoundation.
The goal of MovingImages is to provide a data format that can describe non-linear video editing using the three technologies described above. This is achieved using JSON command objects and JSON drawing instruction objects.
