I have just produced 3 video segments for the apartment community I work for here in NC.
Intro Video= ~1 min.
1 Bedroom Apt~35 secs.
2 Bedroom~35 secs.
I edited everything in FCP3 and exported it 2 ways per the web company's specifications.
I exported 3 of the finished movies in MPEG-4 both audio and video were done this way.
I exported 3 more of the same movies in Quicktime/MPEG-4 with audio compressed and 3 other versions with just the video compressed.
The QTMPEG-4 looked alot better, but the file size is a lot bigger. [100 mb compared to 2.3 mb for straight mp4] I believe that the developers have converted it into a Flash File for viewing.
The result is that all three videos are pixelated and the transitions (simple dissolves) are really choppy and lag a bit.
Normally, I would not care, but the content is meant to show off the product which are the apartments themselves and our community.
Can someone please tell me how I can export these movies so they will not be so choppy and pixelated, and exhibit a higher quality? I am hoping that someone can tell me how to export the files out of FCP3 in a way that the quality is preserved for viewing on the internet.
Here is a link to the website if you want to see the video:

The video tours can be accessed at the bottom and play automatically. The site is not "Live" yet as we have some tweaking to do.
Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance!
