For FCP (don't know about iMovie so much) you need to export your titles in some raster format that is supported by FCP. AI files can't be imported directly into FCP. The file formats I use most often for importing graphics to FCP are Photoshop (PSD) or PNG files. FCP will read in basic PSD layers as layers in FCP, and it respects transparencies in PNG files. If you are doing complex graphical titles then this works ok. But if your titles are mostly text you would pobably be better off just using FCP's built in text rendering tools. This at least makes it easier to change the titles later if necessary. Also if you have FCP you should also have Motion and/or Live Type installed. These are much better tools for doing complex titles than Illustrator in most cases.
