Image Sequence to Quicktime

Converting Anims to .MOV files with After Effects

When rendering animations from Maya, Max or any other 3D application, it is common practice to render them out as image sequences (image.001.tga, image.002.tga, etc.). These sequences, however, can become difficult to manage, load, archive, preview or present to a client or supervisor. The most effective solution is to convert them to movie files such as Quicktime or AVI. This tutorial demonstrates how to convert a sequence to Quicktime using After Effects, including loading the sequence, creating the AE project and rendering using compression codecs.

Any idea how to render Interlaced Frames in Maya? using the (Odd/Even fields) option; and witch method to chose? Both fields Interlaced or Separate and how could I convert them later to Quicktime? I tried rendering in progressive and then De-Interlacing it in Shake but the quality was terrible!
