[mark88]

Is it possible to make quciktime ‘move X frames forward’? the arrow key movies 1 frame forward at a time, is it possible to script a method that wouldmove say 30 frames at a time and assign a shortcut key to it?

Yes:

tell application "QuickTime Player" to step forward front movie by 30

@mark88

and assign a shortcut key to it?

From our FAQ: Can I assign a keyboard shortcut to an AppleScript?

Thanks I’ll check that out! Whilst we’re at it, is it possible to tell QT to go to the next keyframe?

[Bruce_Phillips]

I don’t believe you can do that, because QuickTime’s AppleScript support doesn’t include access to that kind of information.
