How to convert interlaced to progressive avi
I want to use Red Giant’s instant HD on some very old footage. But the Instant HD only works with progressive and my footage is interlaced. Red Giant say you have to convert it to progressive first. How do I do that?

Never encountered that message.
Used it on mini dv footage.
Where does it say you have to convert?———————————————–

Instant HD User Guide. Page 5 under Instant HD Controls. Quote:
There is one major limitation in the current Instant HD release. The product is specifically designed to work with progressive (non-interlaced) images. That means that if you are starting with interlaced video such as a standard Sony PD150 DVCAM capture, you will need to convert the image to progressive in the host application before applying Instant HD.

Like Ann, I’ve used Instant HD on interlaced footage many times over the years…never looked at the manual.
I’m not sure what will constitute de-interlacing before the plugin gets it…I suspect if you interpolate the video on the timeline with field options, it may not work properly.
I would say to interpolate the footage from the project panel (right-click > modify)

Very good deinterlacer you will find inside free Virtualdub [Yadif interpolation, under video->filters->deinterlace(internal)]. Save file as uncompressed (default). I would recommend to try as well resize filter in Virtualdub (has many different algorithms to choose from), so later you can compare result with work of Red Giant filter.
In what format is this old footage? -
It was originally a VHS tape (PAL) shot in 1984. I recently converted it to uncompressed avi.
