Are you editing interlaced or progressive?
DV is always interlaced-lower field first.

What is the format/frame rate you are editing in and what is the file profile you are outputting to?
It sounds like a frame rate mismatch or a frame field dominance flip from what I think you’re describing.

are you certain you aren’t having an issue with interlacing at some point?

Just set up the motion/scale effect the way you want it and right-click on “motion” in the Effect Controls panel, and save the preset…”credit-right side center” a separate one for “…left side center” or whatever.
They should then be in your “presets” folder in the effects panel for later use.

I think Angelo has some good input here, though GeForce cards are pretty “flexible” in their specs depending on the manufacturer…you definitely want 1 GB of GPU memory minimum.
As Angelo states, the GPU card won’t help with the decode, and RED’s software decoder is only one thread wide, so clock speed on your CPU actually makes a bigger difference than sheer core count, but the scaling and interpolation that the GPU does help with are not trivial.

[Joseph W. Bourke] “I will never use McAfee again…”
I moved to McAfee when I realized that it was Adobe’s in-house solution for their computers (at that time I had suddenly started to have issues with Panda).
I have seven (WindowsXP, Vista, and W7) seats and haven’t experienced any issues.
Microsoft Security Essentials seems to earn high marks from many. I guess since most of the virus vulnerability on Windows, Outlook, Office, etc, all start with Microsoft…I hesitate to trust their version of an anti-virus solution.
Everyone’s experience varies of course…

Over a decade ago, all I ran on my Macs was Norton (contrary to popular belief, there were some viruses and trojans for Mac back in the days when they dominated the print industry). Unfortunately my luck on Windows with Norton’s and any NLE I’ve tried (Adobe and Vegas included) has been profoundly bad.
McAfee seems to be far less intrusive and I run it on all my production machines, though if I’m editing on an all-nighter, when McAfee kicks in to do its system scan at 3am, things typically slow down (I’ve never experienced a crash though) so I disable the scan for that night.

[Omar Ayoub] ” I was looking for some video effects (old VHS, overexposed film, ..) that I can apply. Is there any resource for such effect plug-ins (that don’t look to generic) besides Red Giant, and can I find some which apply to Premiere instead of just After Effects?”
Digieffects Damage is what you seek.

Since the card isn’t on the “white list”, you won’t have GPU acceleration until you add it to Adobe’s text file.
The cards that are approved are so because they work.
What sort of footage are you editing? What kind of drives are you storing your media on? Where are your cache files? Are your media drives, or your system drive rather full? Is there an anti-virus running on the machine, or any other software that may “cycle up” periodically? (network printer monitors, etc, etc…)?

[Nel Shelby] “I think I may just give them BPAV folders and log and transfer on site on their computer using Adobe premiere.thanks for your help!”
Premiere Pro requires no conversion…you just use the media the way it is from the camera. The issue comes in when it gets rewrapped for FCP use…Apple doesn’t share that codec, so if you’re not on a Mac, or don’t have Motion or FCP, you don’t have the QuickTime codec.
My recommendation if you need to “log”…the Sony Content Browser should show you footage and timecode…then just give the PPro user the camera media and be done with it.
