The file that is created by Quartz Composer can be opened by Quicktime, but it's not a rendered movie file — which means it's not editable by imovie etc to my knowledge. However, some apps like Screenflow do support QC's which you can 'edit'.
However, I the best option for you is probably QuartzCrystal, a 3rd party wonderful little app by http://kineme.net/ I use and recommend it — it has rendering options like motion blur.
