Do projectors shoot with progressive scan or interlaced? I'm going to be showing one of my videos at school and I was told it was going to be shown on a projector. If it was progressive and my video was interlaced, would I have to change my video's field order to progressive to get the same smooth movement in my video?

Bottom line: You don't need to change your video. -
I was reading an article on progressive scan on wikipedia and it said this:
Progressive scan will have half the frame rate of an interlaced scan's field rate, at a given line rate. This reduces motion smoothness, which may be a disadvantage in fast-changing images such as sports coverage. To maintain the same smoothness, double the line rate is required. -

In other words, it can be done in a way that preserves motion resolution. It all depends on the technology in the projector.
