Progressive VS Interlaced

I got some 24p 720 resolution footage and some 60p footage. When i put them both on a 60p time line, and slowing down the 60p footage to 60% speed. I'm having trouble exporting the videos. I tried exporting it with a upper or lower field with the H.624 codec, but youtube can't convert it. So i have to export it as progressive and it looks like crap on youtube with the frame doubling and what not. I have frame blending off, and i've tried everything. Any suggestions?\
Here is a video with what i'm talking about.

Don't play with the speed settings, most NLE's try too hard and screw it up with ghosting artifacts, etc. Better approach is to fool it outright: right-click the 60p footage in the project window (I think that's it's name... top left, where your files are all listed) and go to "interpret footage". Tell it that it's actually shot at 23.976 fps, and BOOM - instant slow-mo. Drop it on a 24p timeline.

Thanks alot!
 
So should i export it as upper field instead of progressive, and take it into a compression program like MPEG streamclip or Sorenson, and see if it works for youtube?
 
I don't see any reason you should encode it interlaced - if you shot it progressive, then edit it progressive, and export progressive.

Also, by using "interpret footage" you're explicitly telling it to use every frame at 23.976fps, so it will run at 40% speed. I don't know how to make it a little different, say, 80% or 50%, but I imagine you'd need to know what you're doing to pull that off perfectly flawlessly.
