Web Compression
I shot a film in 24p progressive and it looks great.
Then I compressed it with Episode as a flash file and all the rooflines and sharp edges are jaggy… aliased.
Is this the price I pay for web compression? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.. here is the link to the video:

Why do people ask “am I doing something wrong?” and then not post detailed steps of what they are doing. For specific answers you need to give specifics.

I think it needs more crane shots.
Seriously, not only is there a lot of aliasing, but the motion is choppy in playback. Not sure what’s causing that unless there’s a mismatch between the source frame rate and output frame rate.
A couple of things to check:
Since your source video is progressive, make sure Episode isn’t doing any deinterlacing on output.
Make sure that both the source and output frame rate is 24fps (or more specifically, 23.98 in, 24 out)
What is your source footage codec and frame rate? Is it true 24p, or 24p over 60i with 3:2 pulldown?
Lead us through your workflow. What camera did you shoot on? What were the camera settings? What were your sequence settings in FCP? What did you output from FCP? What settings did you use in Episode?

A pattern prone to create moire and a lot of compression.
Try the “Flicker” filter in the problematic shoots.
Try also to make an H264 instead of using the Flash codecs.
