Well, the 'Interlace Consecutive Frames' setting is a per clip setting
- that means you'd have to enable this setting for every .tga file! 
By rendering a non-interlaced AVI first and then using that as your
clip in a new project you only need to enable this setting once.

However .... bad news .... I've just realised that the 'Interlace
Consecutive Frames' doesn't produce the result you need ... DOH!

This is what Premiere does ...

Assume Frame 1 has two POV rendered files A & B - A is the upper field
file and B is the lower field file, Frame 2 has two files C & D, Frame
3 has two files E & F, etc.

The three frames appear in Premiere as

ABCDEF

We need Premiere to produce a single frame files like this ...

Frame 1 = A & B
Frame 2 = C & D
Frame 3 = E & F

But, Interlace Consecutive Frames does this ...

Frame 1 = A & B
Frame 2 = B & C
Frame 3 = C & D

Your only solution is that some POVer out there has made a utility for
converting two field files into a single frame file.

Oh well,

Scott
