I used Media Cleaner Pro software to compress the final renderings, with an mpg codec, I always render with no compression at 15 frames a second and as a Quicktime .mov file then use Media Cleaner to compress it once so there is no generation loss in the quality, When I get all the clips edited together for final compression it will be at a higher quality setting so it'll look a lot better than it does right now..

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!
