Changing "normal size" for QT file?

Question

I am not sure what this is but I guess it is the default size of the movie when it opens. Is there a way to change this value for a movie? I have looked at the AppleScript dictionary, but cannot see it listed.

I come from the "old" Internet where file size is important. Big files don't work well with my dial-up so I've learned some tricks to keep my file sizes small.

I don't know how this app may work on an Intel machine. Rosseta is required.
Its purpose was to combine two movie files and allow a transition (millions of combinations). Since I was using still image files I first had to give them "time". I added them "scaled" to a ten second sound file then extracted this new 10 second video. Still file sized as if a single image.
Once I had merged two of these new files it became a new .mov file. Then it was copy/add scaled to add them all into a new file (the sound track). Last was the Texas map over the entire file.
Try doing that with iMovie!
And an iMovie file would have measured fifty times larger in file size.
Tips and tricks can be found in my book.
