[jonathan young] "#1. Do I have to bring my footage in from FCP straight to color all the time ? if i don't how do I just import a quick time file straight into color ?"
You just import it in the Setup Room. Create a New Project and import it. But be warned, Color will stall for up to 5 minutes when you start navigating out to the your media volume. No clue why, it was a newly added "feature" recently.
[jonathan young] "#2.When I am done rendering in color, do I have to send it back to FCP ? can I just render it and then take it into compressor or motion ? if so how ?"
You just go get the Rendered file and take it into Compressor or Motion. Renders > Project Name > Folder.
