Hi David – bingo, thanks!
If anyone has a similar issue, the solution was to:
1) import the footage to a new sequence, adjust sequence settings to the footage, change field dominance to ‘none’ and add de-interlace effect, then export
2) put exported footage to a new sequence, adjust sequence settings to the footage and change field dominance to ‘upper’, then export.
The end product’s motion is smooth both on computer display and broadcast display.
