interlace

Weave through each

To interlace is to weave together by crossing over and under, like fingers clasped or threads in fabric: She interlaced her fingers behind her head.

The word extends to anything that interweaves or intermingles: The novel interlaces multiple storylines.

In video, interlacing displays alternating lines of an image in sequence rather than all at once.
