I think that all you need (after importing interlaced footage into interlaced sequence) is just to change an option “display first field” or “display second field” to “display both fields” (right click on Program Monitor -> fields -> display….).

I have no problem to open this project on my system. Contact me please (edit: email removed)

Till today I was working few times extensively with Prores LT and HQ from Mac platform (Premiere & AE / CS5.5 & CS6) – all nice and smooth. And as well I did some smaller projects with all Prores family from Cinec on Windows platform and haven’t got any problems except one behaviour of 444. During playback LT, 422 or HQ (system without gpu acceleration) CPU load was 20-40& which is ok, but for 444 was 70-90% so sometimes things got little choppy.

Ups, sorry, I didn’t read carefully so my answer is pointless. Tero is right, lower the bitrate and estimation of file size will appear at the bottom of export window (bellow the “use frame blending”).

“But any idea why that would cause the green shading?”
Don’t know, but generally speaking, max render quality option uses different interpolation, color depth, resampling etc.
For future, when you do export with the same frame size what sequence is (and not using hardware acceleration) you don’t really need max render quality checked, but when resizing to smaller dimensions, you better check it (sharper output). And I’m not sure why you use frame blending when exporting to the same fps.
I would argue with Bill advice as general rule, alhtough it’s ok as work around. When you working not not on loseless or uncompressed, but on compressed sources like mpeg2 or h264, it is not such good idea output to Prores. First, there is conversion to other format, second, there is need for much more disc space for archiving. For compressed formats I would suggest doing masters in the same codec as the source. With fair bitrate (lets say 30%-50% more than source bitrate), there will be no difference in quality (in comparison to prores), but huge difference on gigabytes or simple significant lose of quality if you chose Prores LT for a master clip. I did some tests of Prores variables on 1080p h264 material, and my conclusion was, that only Prores 444 is reliable to maintain quality of the source, and Prores HQ is good for less quality demanding outputs (so is good for most of my work to be honest). -
yes, you can, but instead of changing preview settings try to set new size in the export window 🙂
-
Do it in steps to see what’s going on. First disable gpu acceleration (if any) and export fragment of timeline. After that uncheck “use maximum render quality” and export, after “frame blending” and export.
If green error is still present switch off grading effects and see how export works without them. -
Nathan, this is quite common behavior when you drag&drop instead of using Media Browser to import spanned clips.
-
Perhaps is to much, but giving a try doesn’t hurt unless you do it frame by frame. Not sure you aware, that photoshop can handle video formats. So, drop your video to PS, make resizing and export as “render video” – you can choose to render via adobe media encoder or photoshop image sequence (at least in CS6).

There is quite good option to do it via Virtualdub’s resize filter. But first, have a look at some comparison and small discussion with references to other sources:
