Argh!

I've made my first vid, yay me, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it small enough to reasonably ask any of you to look at it. When I try to compress, it's unwatchable until it hits 50MB, yet I know people make them smaller. Are there Final Cut Pro secrets to compression? Actually, they're probably not all that secret. FCP is virtually idiot-proof, but I am busily building a better idiot.

Thanks! I've been flipping back and forth in the manuals like a mad thing, but I can never seem to track down the beginning of the skein that will tell me what to do.

I boost my sound to stereo and make my files 320x240. But start with theirs and see what you think.
