Ok, that worked! But I am not done yet!
--set new_file to (path to desktop as string) & "test_movie.mov"
--above works
set myprompt to "blar"
--set new_file to (choose file name with prompt myprompt default
name "myshot.mov")
--above does not work
set new_file to (choose file name with prompt myprompt default
name "myshot.mov") as string
-- does not work
export movie 1 to alias new_file as QuickTime movie using
settings alias "Digital:resources:quicktime player
bits:sd_pixlet_1.5.qtes" with replacing
By the way, I am pretty new at this, so THANK YOU!!

Further to my previous post, the above line should emphatically not be
in a Finder tell block. It relies on terminology from standard
additions, and does not require any kind of explicit tell block.
So, make sure the 'set new_file' line is not inside a tell block. Move
it to just after the 'with timeout line, perhaps.
