Thanks for the research Scott. But why do I need to make the initial AVI?
Couldn't I just take all the POV frames, add the music (hmm, I guess the
timing would be off by a factor of 2 as I always compose the music while
viewing the animation in Premiere - actually I guess I could just run it at
2x speed), then select Interlace Consecutive Frames to create the one and
final AVI Just curious why I can;t work directly from the POV (Targa) frames
and output just one AVI file with the options you describe...
Thanks again. Really big help.
D.

OK.

You'll need to render a non-interlaced AVI in Premiere using the files
generated by POV's field rendering options - basically this will
contain two image files for each 'frame'.

When you have the AVI you need to put that in a new Premiere project
and then set the interlace properties for that AVI clip as Interlace
Consecutive Frames.

Render a new AVI using this and you should have a properly interlaced
AVI.

The stuff below is cut and pasted from the Premiere help files.

---Premiere Help---
To specify field processing options for a clip:

1 Select a clip in the Timeline.

2 Choose Clip > Video Options > Field Options.

3 <snip>

4 Click one of the following Processing Options:

 <snip>
Select Interlace Consecutive Frames to convert pairs of
progressive-scan (noninterlaced) frames into interlaced fields. This
option is useful for converting 60-fps progressive-scan animations
into 30-fps interlaced video, because many animation applications
don't create interlaced frames.
