I’ve got exactly the same problem here. No RS422 control with our DVW 500P digibeta deck.
Hopefully BM will fix this in an update soon!

from what I’m reading, he’s not deinterlacing at all. He says he’s rendering interlaced H.264
That’s probably the problem he’s seeing when it playing back.

The footage is originally DV format? If it’s DV it’s probably gonna be lower field first interlaced.
Make sure the footage is interpreted correctly in After Effects, then either render out to animation (lossless) with no interlacing, then compress using another program, setting input and output to progressive.
Or render out interlaced from after effects, and set a deinterlacer in your compression program.

Since you post this in the AE forum, are you assuming that these effects were done in postproduction?
In the youtube info it says it won a prize for best cinematography, so I think that most if not all of the effects that you see were done in-camera with creative use of lens flares, depth of field, reflections etc..
