Re: Save animation to QuickTime movie?

I would suggest that you take a look at the sample code for 
CocoaMovieCreate and MakeEffectMovie.  If an off the shelf product 
can't help you (Have you tried using AppleScript with QT Player to 
accomplish your goal?), then these two examples should give you enough 
of the basics to get you through the process of creating your own 
application.

regards,
