It sounds to me like you have some unique audio preferences active…
Does your camera actually generate 8 audio tracks? Is it more likely that you have 4 and you have it set up to interpret every channel as stereo?
You can select every clip in the bin and make the adjustment to all at once, but you want to reset your audio preferences for default interpolation.
The audio may seem complex to some, but I don’t know of many features in PPro that weren’t requested or even demanded by users.
…not that I don’t wonder if it could be a bit more elegant at times myself.

Before the thread descended into these guys comparing sizes…of their edit desks…they show the monitor for what most would use it for…interface.
If you need a 4K video monitor for your content, that would probably be the second panel…

There is a much shorter Mac “white list” because Adobe can’t approve a card to run on a Mac that Apple doesn’t specifically approve for installation…

Use a non-QuickTime format and look at it outside of QT player…the gamma error resides there.
(as it has for more than a decade unfortunately)

Keep in mind that a lot of what the GPU does is downstream for the CPU, which is downstream from the harddrives, etc…
If the harddrives are maxed out feeding data to the CPU, then the CPU may not be at full speed as it’s “waiting” for data occasionally… If the drives are working with ease because of smaller files that are compressed more aggressively, you CPU may be maxed…in either case, the GPU can only process what comes to it.
System balance is key. Many users want to add a lot of GPU power, then they comment that the larger card was some sort of sham because their system didn’t gain speed, when usually the bottleneck is upstream from the GPU, so adding more just adds more power the system can’t use. Once a system truly has the drive storage, CPU power, and RAM to function comfortably, a solid GPU makes a considerable difference.
One you get into Titan cards, I think some of the subtle configuration differences would only possibly be noticed when working with high-stress workflows like 4K/5K RED raw or something of that nature in PPro CC.

Yes…what Jeff said.
Let the Media Encoder do the scaling during the export.

CS6 Mercury GPU acceleration only works with two OpenCL cards…pretty much unique to MacBook Pros.
CC opens up general GPU compatibility (CUDA and OpenCL) based on minimum specs.

One can imagine what sort of math needs to be created to time remap a clip.
I’m not sure that you need to be smoking something to run into difficulty with accelerating/slowing time and run into challenges with other parts of the software that are designed to create interpolations based on linear time not being able to take their interpolation process and then have flawless recalculation based on the framerate of the clip being in constant flux.
I hear your frustration, and I think it’s probably something Adobe could have put out there a bit more plainly perhaps (maybe a warning popup in the UI…but it isn’t as if this is a basic and fundamental flaw in the system like a title blowing up the basic color corrector or something like that.

With most any plugin installer, if the version of the plugin you’re using was created prior to CC release, the installer doesn’t look for anything newer than CS6 on the machine.
You may have to simply copy/paste the Red Giant plugins from the CS6 location to the corresponding CC location.

Hmmm…so this is the final output of your program then? (since you’re using H264?)
I think I may be missing something…
Are you comparing them in QT player?
Is Media Encoder set to use GPU? …and do you have a compatible GPU installed?
What happens if you take both PPro and Media Encoder and process the export CPU only? (Mercury “software” instead of GPU…)
Definitely something weird.
