That's the idea. e.g. Something like:
from appscript import *
from mactypes import *
mov = app ('Quicktime Player.app').open_image_sequence(Alias('/path/to/
image-1.jpg'), frames_per_second=5)
mov.export(to=File('/path/to/output.mov'), as_=k.QuickTime_movie,
timeout=0)
mov.close(saving=k.no)
The only downside of this approach is that if you're making, say, a
highly polished shrinkwrapped product, having it launch external
applications to do some of the work might not create quite the
impression you want with users.

import QTKit
will import the PyObjC wrapper for the QTKit framework. See PyObjC's
documentation for general usage information Apple's Cocoa
documentation for further information on QTKit itself, e.g.:
