Well, since you are using low quality anyway, you could always try fieldskit demo and instant hd to upscale but, for real quality – fieldskit is nothing compared to Algolith MADI deinterlacer. Algolith is almost 100% original. It could do deinterlace and upscale “720 wide to 1900 (roughly)”

bulge as precomped text.
layer the precomp below video.
that will keep it over top of video but not affect video. -
distort->bulge effect is what you want i think

if they were going for perfect quality, they would have received film transfer to cineon and worked with its own color management and pro res effects separately added together on optical printer.

I believe you’re looking for this one. To combine fielded and non-fielded footage.
fieldskit re-interlacer
• = Create motion estimated fields: This option will convert progressive material to interlaced material using motion estimation to create new fields between each original frame. This mode looks at the current frame and the next frame and estimates a new field at the inbetween position. https://www.revisionfx.com/products/fieldskit/downloads/
If you are re-interlacing back onto a digibeta mastertape, then it will take care of the fields anyway. You’re just looking at a quicktime movie with field separating so you see lines. Just output fields [on] and digibeta will have to worry about turning its NTSC fields back into 35mm film. It will have to anyway, for the quicktime interlaced footage. Think about it. And use a crazy high quality codec output because digibeta is 10-bit 90 Mbit/s. Use something like at least dvc pro 50 codec 32 bpc to maintain quality. DVCPRO100(HD) at 100 mbps is preferred. Just think, you’re even higher than the digibeta output by 10 mbps!

if your going for web, use sorenson squeeze and for dvd use a dvd authoring program from a high quality master ouput from AE or even try AE’s built in mpeg2 encoder at 8 mbps. If you own Prod. Edition of adobe, you won’t even need to render, just use dynamic link.

since your RAM previews are looking ok, im guessing its not your color management or color bpc. It’s probably a bad render setting of a codec. First thing I always do if there’s a problem, I render out a 10 second 10 bit 4:4:4 RGB uncompressed AVI. That usually gives away 99% of problems.

Timeremap with frame blending on. Personally, I would go the extra step and use Timewarp with pixel motion. It will create smoother frames than simply blending, but keyframing new speed keys is less intuitive and rendering time increases a lot more. It’s up to you.

AE can take both interlaced and progressive at the same time. It’s composition settings do not even have a “take only fields settings.” The only place where fields are, are in interpret footage command in bin and final rendering output. You may ask, what happens if I mix interlaced and non-interlaced? Well, if you have interlaced and encode to fields [OFF] then, you get a crappy deinterlaced video because AE has a bad built in deinterlacer. If you had to export fields [OFF] then get Algolith for AE because it is the only thing close to 100% original for removing scanlines. The other export option is fields [on]. Your interlaced footage wouldn’t lose any quality, but what about your progressive footage?
Well AE does have a built in re-interlacer. It simply puts each field half the time a frame is shown. There’s other field re-interlacers such as fieldskit re-interlacer that supports more options such as:
Half Frame Rate 59.95p to 29.94i
Keep Frame Rate destination 1/2 duration
Field Blending mix fields but you can’t undo it later on.Hope this helps. Keep us apprised and good luck on your project.
