Working with Mini DV Tape

I've been working on a project for the past 1 1/2 years that originated on MiniDV tape. I set it aside for a few months and when I came back the footage now looks interlaced with "combing". I thought this might be a result of  Premiere Pro retiring tape-based workflows. Is there a way to fix this problem or a workaround?

The problem seems to be solved. Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. Each comment got me closer to figuring out the issue.

 

Modify Clip

PAR - Conform to: D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)

Field Order - Conform to: No Fields (Progressive Scan)

Field Options - Flicker Removal (This solved the combing problem)

Mini dv is interlaced.

Did you check your display settings.

Thank you for your response! Do you mean the display settings on my monitor or in Premiere? Any suggested for how to set my display would be much appreciated. I'm attaching a shot of my sequence settings and footage. 

Thanks!

Hi @Alifilms12,

Please post a screenshot of your sequence settings. That would help immensely.

Thanks for your quick response. Here are a few images. I really appreciate your help! 

1. Sequence Settings - I haven't changed any settings since starting the project. 

2. Before - taken about a year ago

3. Now - This is happening with all Mini dv footage I bring into Premiere.

I noticed that the footage looks great when I playback in quicktime. The problem occurs when I bring the footage into Premiere.
