Exporting
When you export a quicktime file from Final Cut Pro does it automatically compress it to h.264 or do you have to do this manually through quicktime conversion?

Depends how you export it. If you don’t specifically tell it to convert using quicktime, it will export a same as source QT – whatever your sequence is.
If you want it to convert to H264, use the “export using quicktime conversion” option, and change the settings in the dialog box.
Personally, I export a same as source and then let compressor do the conversion using a droplet. That way you keep editing while compressor runs in the background. You can also “share” it with compressor, but I don’t have much experience with that one.
Cheers.
