I highly recommend Manifesto for this. It’s a free generator that’s included with FxFactory. It works great for simple credits.

To use replace edits, you still have to reveal the clip in the event browser first (Shift-F). Then you can use the Shift-R and Option-R shortcuts.
To make clips on the primary storyline stay put, you use the position tool. Almost any edits you make on the primary storyline using the default pointer will cause ripples. When you don’t want that to happen, use the position tool.
If it’s a connected clip you don’t want to move, use the tilde key. You can even lock this key in 10.0.8 by holding Tilde, then Shift, then release Tilde, then release Shift. This locks the override connections command until you hit Tilde again.
Hope this helps.

Instead of trying to replace it, have you tried inserting the new generator and then pasting the attributes from the older generator? That should take care of the scaling and position at least. You should be able to copy and paste the text manually. Once you have it set up the same, you can delete the older generator from the timeline.

Nice job! I can see this coming in handy until Apple adds a similar feature to FCPX.

You can’t send several clips separately to Compressor, but you can send a range to Compressor. Just use the Range tool (R key) or use the I and O keys in the timeline to specify a range. Then use the Send to Compressor command.

For future reference, you can also hit Ctrl-S to collapse/expand audio/video clips and Ctrl-Opt-S to collapse/expand audio components (useful if you want to mute whole audio “tracks” or sections of audio).

Have you tried exporting them as WAV/AIFF files, separately, using roles?

I’m interested in this too. I was just trying to do this the other day and I just gave up.

Do you mean only the video portions of an audio/video stream? No. If you just want the video, you’ll have to edit it into the timeline using the Video Only option.

I like to think of compound clips not only as a way to organize the timeline and apply effects to more than one clip simultaneously, but also as a way to isolate those clips from affecting the rest of the timeline. So any time you think, “how can I have X affect Y without affecting Z?” there’s probably a way to do it with a compound clip.
