Does Compressor automatically send footage back to FCP?

Hi all!
(This is my first time posting here and I'm very new to Compressor, so forgive me if this is a stupid question)
I have some interlaced footage that I shot on my SD camera and brought into FCP. I didn't like the interlacing so I sent the clips to Compressor 3 and in the Inspector set the footage to be progressive.
I set a file format for the output and a new quicktime movie was created of the footage....but does Compressor automatically send the new (progressive) footage back to FCP and replace the old (interlaced) footage?
 
No, you have to re-import everything.

On a side note, if you are not viewing your footage on an NTSC monitor, you just threw out half of your resolution for an artificial gain in aesthetics.
