Q: Compressor Making Files Bigger?
I recently cut a 30-sec teaser for a short film. I exported the teaser as a self-contained movie (350Mb). I then compressed the teaser for streaming using a preset that I created quite a long time ago -- the teaser came out to be 750Mb. Obviously something is not right.
A few months ago I used this same preset on a 30-sec commercial. The commercial went from 177Mb to 91Mb. No issue. It uploaded to YouTube and plays perfectly fine. The teaser however looks awful when uploaded - looks all blocky/smeary.
Any idea what may be causing this? Could the issue be originating in FCP? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

First thing: Youtube and Vimeo both "recompress" your file. Want to create a new project in fcp with a sequence with one clip that is particularly problematic on youtube with filters applied and send project and souorce media to me and I'll see if there's anything obvious going on?
