So….for de-interlacing, I was using the filter. There’s no loss of quality imagae wise, it’s only that the slowed down footage creates “trails” and what I mean by that is you see the character move forward, but for a split second or so he remains in that same position, so it’s not a fluid movement per say, but one with a trail.
What I’ve ended up doing was using the de-interlace filter, export that out as a pro res file, then Compress that down into H.264 and using the de-interlace option under size or settings, I clicked that, so the end file is “de-interlaced” twice. Also, in regards to keyframes, this may have played an important roll, because on the H.264 compression I clicked ALL instead of automatic. This all seemed to have worked, I still notice a tiny aspect of “trails” but when I showed it to someone else they didn’t see it, maybe I’ve just been staring at it too long.
