"export to quicktime" worked! now i understand, "export" is like "save" in windows
No, it is not. There is still a "Save" and a "Save As" in most Mac OS X applications, and "Saving" means the document/project you work on and "save" is still an editable project/document within the application it was created in, while "exporting" means, that the document/project gets stored in a format, that is no longer editable by the source application and is meant for easier distribution.
