My pipeline is the following:
Hybrid, from Raw, to adjust the 22fps VFR, into 23.976 fps CFR. This corrects for the frame skipping and the 15-30fps VFR issue before entering Mercalli.
Mercalli 6.0, partitions the original length, defishes the frame, and repositions each frame. If it didn't zoom in, it would cause the border to be exposed at 100%, because of the shaking and Rock Steady smooth out, so all frames are fitted to size, position, angle, etc., to make it look nice, without reflections or black borders. Simple cropping doesn't work. It also adjusts color, panning, tilting, sharpening, enhancement, etc. (I wish it could dehaze.) The output is VFR. I use medium quality output, unless it's poor quality. I told ProDAD to let us chose the outputs to CFR/VFR, but settings are rather limited.
Then Hybrid, to denoise, degrain, speed change, and convert to CFR, clean out the VFR, because Vegas, Mercalli (double run-through), etc. will skip frames on VF, I have found. Convert to H.265, and set constant rate factor to better than recommended number. Sound is usually off, unless required.

I also use HandBreak for deinterlacing SD,
(but I just tried Hybrid, and found it better, but the Bob is not working to double frame rates, and I have to increase to 60, to get 30fps. it's not automatically set correctly.)
I like the prefix suffix settings in HB, they are quite versatile and convenient.
I also use Shutter Encoder for HD on up. It's very fast and uses the GPU, but is neat that I can convert alongside Hybrid, without much performance drop im either. They just included better prefix/suffex settings, but is buggy. Max Conversion rate is about 20-25fps.
Hybrid is best in serious problems, and the steepest learning curve by far. We really need to know what we are doing, and would be better if the GPU was used. Max Conversion rate is about 5-6fps.The presettings are not obvious to figure out, and can't figure out what it sets, and where.
I have the N100, and the Intel Graphics HD 620 or so, and does about 300 GFLOPS, with 24 CU. This Gen just added some AI features, but just rudimentary ones.
