First off, thanx for responding
Ok, so I see no reason to interlace progressive footage, just to make it progressive again by way of losing detail and this also makes the video slightly jerky. Unfortunately, after numerous tests, it looks like the only way for me to make things smooth is to use frame blending. In this case, that's ok as it just creates a slight motion blur which is barely visible due to the nature of the footage I'm working with. To make things "worse"/different, I realized that I actually have five different frame rates; in addition to the ones I mentioned in OP, I also have 24fps and 25fps footage.
I could see some people wondering why I'm not just using one damn frame rate, but the footage for this comes from so many different sources that I don't have a choice but to work with it and the footage is unique so there is no possibility of re-recording it all with one frame rate
