Critique my Bridge&Cliff Jumping edit =]

#4 on the T2i. Loving the camera and learning tons. This is a short edit of some bridge jumping on the Saco river in NH along with some cliffs in Gloucester, MA.

Critique / Feedback = +k

- Kinda crushed the blacks in the second part IMO. Colors always appear a bit sharper when I'm editing them versus when the video is on the internet. Why is this and is there any way to compensate for it?
- Should I alter my render settings to get crisper footage on the internet or will it not make much of a difference? I feel as though some of the shots do not appear as pristine as when I first viewed them on the camera/in my editing program.

Thanks for any help!

You were in that .00001% range of a dubstep song and relaxed cliff jumping edit mixing perfectly. I really liked it

no sound at the moment, but it seemed lengthy for the amount of tricks in it.

that's probably me though, i'm a fan of fast paced editing

In response to OP questions, what Codec are you using to compress the files, and also what program do you use for compression. Usally using FCP or Premiere is not the best way to compress your files for distribution. Abobe have media encoder, or there is sorensen squeeze which I like. Not sure about macs if you use one, but im sure there are some available.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply as this was one of the main things I wanted to determine with this thread. To tell you the truth I don't compress my files =/ I just bring them straight into my editing software (Sony Vegas :/ ) and start editing. I do have MPEG Streamclip downloaded which i think can be used for compression (?). What would be a recommended codec for T2i files? Thanks for everything, hope you liked the video as well.
