[HELP] QTGMC appears to not be deinterlacing footage (or not doing so correctly)

Best open the "Filtering->Vapoursynth Script View" (lower right corner) this way you can see what script Hybrid is creating with the settings you gave it.
In the 'Addition' field you simply add stuff to the command line.
The script you see would look something like:

# Imports
import vapoursynth as vs
# getting Vapoursynth core
import ctypes
import sys
import os
core = vs.core
# Import scripts folder
scriptPath = 'F:/Hybrid/64bit/vsscripts'
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(scriptPath))
# Loading Support Files
Dllref = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary("F:/Hybrid/64bit/vsfilters/Support/libfftw3f-3.dll")
# Loading Plugins
core.std.LoadPlugin(path="F:/Hybrid/64bit/vsfilters/GrainFilter/RemoveGrain/RemoveGrainVS.dll")

clip = core.lsmas.LWLibavSource(source="C:/Users/Selur/Desktop/S01E01 Plunder & Lightning Pt. 1.mkv", format="YUV420P8", stream_index=0, cache=0, prefer_hw=0)
# Setting detected color matrix (470bg).
clip = core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Matrix=5)
# Setting color transfer info (470bg), when it is not set
clip = clip if not core.text.FrameProps(clip,'_Transfer') else core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Transfer=5)
# Setting color primaries info (), when it is not set
clip = clip if not core.text.FrameProps(clip,'_Primaries') else core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Primaries=5)
# Setting color range to TV (limited) range.
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_ColorRange", intval=1)
# making sure frame rate is set to 29.97
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_FieldBased", intval=0) # progressive
# Deinterlacing using QTGMC
clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Faster", InputType=0, TFF=True, TR2=0, SourceMatch=0, Lossless=2) # new fps: 29.97
# Making sure content is preceived as frame based
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_FieldBased", intval=0) # progressive
clip = clip[::2] # selecting previously even frames
# adjusting output color from: YUV420P8 to YUV420P10 for NVEncModel
clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV420P10, range_s="limited")
# set output frame rate to 29.97fps (progressive)
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
# Output
clip.set_output()

The important part is the:

clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Faster", InputType=0, TFF=True, TR2=0, SourceMatch=0, Lossless=2) # new fps: 29.97

If you add for example ", NoiseProcess=2" (note the comma at the beginning) under Addition you get:

clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Faster", InputType=0, TFF=True, TR2=0, SourceMatch=0, Lossless=2, opencl=True, NoiseProcess=2) # new fps: 29.97

Using:

and as Addition:

, TR0=2, TR1=2,  Rep0=1, Rep1=0, Rep2=4, DCT=5, ThSCD1=300, ThSCD2=110, Sbb=0, NoiseProcess=2, GrainRestore=0.0, NoiseRestore=0.4, NoisePreset="slow", StabilizeNoise=False, NoiseTR=0, NoiseDeint="bob"

results in:

clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Slow", InputType=0, TFF=True, TR2=2, Sharpness=0.1, SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2, MatchPreset="Slow", TR0=2, TR1=2,  Rep0=1, Rep1=0, Rep2=4, DCT=5, ThSCD1=300, ThSCD2=110, Sbb=0, NoiseProcess=2, GrainRestore=0.0, NoiseRestore=0.4, NoisePreset="slow", StabilizeNoise=False, NoiseTR=0, NoiseDeint="bob") # new fps: 29.97

which, unless I missed something, should be what was suggested in the videohelp thread.
(note that they used 'StabilizeNoise=false', but since this is Vapoursynth not Avisynth one needs to use 'StabilizeNoise=False')
