Sent my project out to be color corrected and it was returned to me as a Quicktime movie. I then imported that into FCP 10.7 library to correct a typo. But the timeline is the entire movie and not in clips.
How do I get the timeline into clips so that I can edit an End credit?

Whoever did the color correction should have sent you an FCP compatible XML file with the graded clip. You'll have two manually Blade that section of the movie file out and somehow cover up the bad spelling and place proper spelling on top, I'd assume using the exact same title template.
But a single QT movie file is a single QT movie file. There's no separate clips any longer. It's just like when you export a video from FCP, it's just one clip, not several.

Tom - I went back to my pre-color timeline, corrected the credits, and then selected the clips/credits as a compound clip, which I exported and then sent to the colorist. He's going to drop them in over the old credits and then export it all back to me. That should work.
I'll be more careful in the future!
You could add titles manually extending them from the cut line for each shot. It would be painfully tedious but you should be able to do it.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll talk to the colorist. So if I need to do subtitles for this I'll need the clips - no way to do it as it is now?
Obviously not.
