thanks for the ideas!
i checked the properties again. my d90 shoots its 720P footage at 1280x720 so that is correct already.
what i did wrong initially was to edit the footage with a frame rate of 25 instead of 24/23.976 ... it doesnt jump or anything in the preview window- only after i export it.
so i copied the edited footage from the original sequence into a sequence with the correct frame rate. i think the jumpiness of the footage after its exported might be caused by the distortion due to copying the footage between sequences with different frame rates (??)
i was hoping there was some way to remove this distortion, rather than having to re-edit the footage...

Sequence settings don't follow clips. Make sure that the native resolution, frame rate, and frame size match the clip and sequence setting.
 
Great tips here! Question though, what's the best compression technique for putting your film on withoutabox and submitting through them?

best,
Jonathan

I would find out what settings they are asking for and follow them in your compressing software.
 
I should have been more specific in my post. They don't offer any guidlines which is strange. But I just used quicktime compressor w/o changing any settings and it uploaded just fine.
