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!!

I just posted this on the list...

tell application "Finder"

end tell

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.
