[Dan Edwardson] “I want to have some shots come up at the top and move along, kinda like a moving Picture in Picture”
Just put each of these shots each in its own track above the “green” in the timeline. Select the first of these in the timeline and position the CTI over the first frame of that shot…(page up or page down).
In the Effects Controls palette click on the word “Motion”. Twiddle open Motion to expose the parameters of Scale and Position. Click the small “Toggle animation” buttons for scale and position.
You will see a white bounding box around that clip in the Program Window. Moving and scaling is just like Photoshop…set the position and scale for the beginning of that shot. Page Down and then Arrow back to position the CTI at the last frame of that shot. Reposition your shot for the last frame. -
Appears to be a plug-in conflict. Temporarily remove all 3rd party plug-ins from Premiere’s Plug-in folder and try again. Add the plug-ins back one at a time to find the culprit.

If your HDV footage is in a HDV sequence you have no room to soom in without degrading the quality.
Judging image quality, in Premiere or Photoshop should be done at native resolution (100% zoom). Any other zoom factor can result in artifacts and aberrations. -
Well sort of…for CS4 only
Put your 10 min clip into the source window. Select in/out points for the first 10 second clip and insert that to an empty sequence. File>Export>Media
Choose your export settings and click OK sending that sequence to the Encoder Que.File>New>Sequence
Repeat the above steps 9 more times.When done fire up the encoder.

If you captured into a DV sequence the camera is down converting. The question begs…how to capture HDV into a HDV sequence when needed.

Movie Maker captures as DirectShow type 1. Premiere in the past would not ingest type 1 and I suspect type 1 is still incompatible with PP. Recapture footage in Premiere to get type 2 or edit in MM.

Your camera can “down convert” the HDV footage to DV widescreen as you capture it into a Premiere DV Widescreen sequence. JUst set the camera menu to “Down-Convert=On” and the camera mode as DV.
The alternative is to let Premiere do it either before or after editing, which will take till Monday! -
Right click on the clip in the timeline and choose Field Options…experiment with the 3 options.

If your object is a simple shape that does not change in shape (size and position ok), Premiere Track Matte effect can do what you need.
More intricately shaped or morphing object will need AE’s animated mask feature. -
One thing to suspect is dropped frames on capture, although 450 frames (video) is a bunch and should be noticeable on preview. Dropped frames equals less video than audio.
Premiere used to put red frames as a placeholder for missing frames, but it has been awhile since I have used HDV and not sure how missing frames are handled.
