Hello,
Everything looks like it is set up properly.Question: if you turn off Fieldskit Deinterlacer, does it still have the duplicated frame for each 2 successive frames in the comp? if so, then your footage is not 60i (59.94i), but 30p (29.97p).
As to when to apply the next filter(s). Well it depends on our Neat works, but I would suggest before FIeldsKit, because you want to remove the noise before we try to interpolate the scanlines in a smart way (we try to find straight lines in the image and if there is noise present that can serve to reduce the efficacy of FieldsKit Deinterlacer.
Note: if you brighten and denoise on an adjustment layer, and FieldsKit Deinterlacer to the footae, you are doing the denoise and brightening AFTER FieldsKit has been applied (this is simply how AE works).

Are the railings going behind, or close to, a foreground object or person?
If so, then you’ll probably ned to create a matte for the foreground person, and ALSO use points or splines (what AE calls masks). AE’s masks might be more appropriate here, because you can tell twixtor to track the whole length of the railing and not just one spot. This is because when the railings go out of view (or into view) it’s very difficult for Twixtor to figure out which part of which railing corresponds to the proper railing.
We do have tutorials for how to use a matte for better foreground/background separate tracking
If the railing is in the BACKGROUND, you’ll still want to use.
We don’t have a tutorial for splines yet, but we do have sample projects on our help site here https://help.revisionfx.com/tutorial/49/ (make sure to read the README after you download the projects). Make sure to read the manual section first (The manual was installed upon your disk when you installed Twixtor, in the same directory with the plugins in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS6/MediaCore/Twixtor5 folder).
The examples aren’t tutorials per se, but examples of how a properly set up project would look like. There are very simplistic examples with mattes and points, mattes and splines, and then a very complicated example with several foreground mattes and splines AND points.

I just tried Twixtor in 10.0.7 and it works fine. Can you make sure to install the latest version (version 5.3) of Twixtor and retest? I see you ordered about a year ago, so perhaps you have an older version sitting on disk?
The upgrade is free and is located here: https://www.revisionfx.com/products/twixtor/downloads/#fcp
Make sure to quit FCP, install, then restart FCP.

I’m guessing you applied the masks to the original clip and not to the layer where Twixtor resides? Twixtor can only get access to masks that are applied to the layer where Twixtor is applied.
I’m assuming if you cut and paste your animated masks to the layer where Twixtor is applied that you will then be able to select the masks in Twixtor Pro’s menus.
