* Click on the FCP Quicktime File on your desktop
* Hit "Command/I" (Get Info)
* Go down to "Open With" and select Quicktime
* The Icon will change to a QT icon.
* DO NOT click "Change All" unless you want all your FCP files to have QT Icons on them

Use Toast to burn a Data CD / DVD (don't know how big your file is) or pick up a SanDisk USB Flash Drive (can't live without my 4 GB portable around my neck everyday - $38.28 brand new on Ebay)

oh, now you tell me....

OK, seriously, those FCP exports with the FCP icon are pretty much QT files ewith a different icon.
They will open in FCP if you double click on them
but they can easily be opened in QT just by dragging and dropping on the QT app icon, or opening QT and file> open then navigate
otherwise do what i described

and here's another thng:
if your composer doe0n'st have FCP installed, the files will appear as a simple QT file, and open in QT.
and here's a very important thing:

the QT movie you exported from FCP HAS TO BE SELF CONTAINED!
otherwise it;s referencing media that WONT be on your composers system.


hope that helps,

It may also be necessary (if he's on a PC) to have the file with the extension .mov
