Ouch!
If you look real close, you can also/still notice what appears to be the Interlace artefacts from residual interlace footage that were apparent from the get-go. Yup, it’s a mess. I think you need to retrace your steps and somewhere consider creating a DI from the best footage you have available. Then possibly proceed to making a deintelaced version. Then from there using the old method of adjusting frame rates.
My thoughts on the blurring? It’s a result of Vegas wanting to help you by applying Motion Blur.
