Exporting in Apple ProRes 422 Results in Fuzzy Picture (Moire Effect)

OK, this one is a bit complicated: I have a final film export in Apple ProRes 422 HQ.  I imported that export back into my Premire Pro in order to add foreign language subs to it (as the film is considered for a televison broadcast in that particular country).  

The reason I had to re-import the final export into Premiere Pro is because the film was color corrected on a different machine and exported from that machine.  That ex

port is of great quality.

However, when I now re-use it and when I try to re-export it together with subs, also as ProRes 422 HQ, no matter what export combination I use, I consistently get fuzzy picture/moire effects in certain sections.  See attached screen shot of the original file (final export) and re-exported file (pay attention to the front grid of the car).  Any thoughts what may be happening?

And pardon me, I just realized that attached the still from incorrect export settings.  Use this one: 

 


Turn off max depth and max render and try again.

That is not moire.

Post screenshot export settings with left tab to output with image (not black).

I was apparently lacking words - yes, interlacing is more appropriate.  In any case, here is the screen shot of one of the export settings I tried (which I thought should be best).  I am not sure what exactly you mean by "left tab to output with image (not black)," but I assume that you wanted me to include an image from the sequence, so I did.

Likely you exported it in lower resolution or as interlaced instead of progressive
