QuickTime generates -47 (fBsyErr) errors if the file name is longer
than 32 characters. I may also not like parentheses in file names, for
example "getTitle().mov", which is the name generated by this macro. To
work as intended, the macro needs to be changed to

  run("QuickTime Movie...", "compression=[Sorenson 3] quality=Maximum
frame=7 save=/Volumes/rubinlab/tests/rotation/"+getTitle()+".mov");

or to

  run("QuickTime Movie...", "compression=[Sorenson 3] quality=Maximum
frame=7 save=[/Volumes/rubinlab/tests/rotation/"+getTitle()+".mov]");

to work with stacks that have spaces in the title.
