Quick switch to PPro CC, any gotchas I should be aware of?
-
I agree with this. There’s nothing worse than having an issue with playback and not being able to figure out which format is causing the problem.
I find the (free) Cineform Go Pro codec a dream to edit with in Premiere Pro.

I’m not sure if the free version of GoPro will go up to 4K resolution…will it? (I’ve not tried it.)
ProRes 4K does run pretty well, even on Windows in CC.
Once you start to work with 4K files, what format it is has some effect on how it leans into the system resources. I believe that RED is still confined to one CPU core per stream (keeps the RED Rocket cards in play), but XAVC is so new that I don’t know how(or even “if”) the decoder is threaded. I do know that once you get to an i7 processor with 4 (8 HT) cores, additional cores don’t seem to help H264 decoding/encoding speed much, but clock speed starts to make a difference.
Once you get into 4K in general, the scaling and color interpolation after decode really benefit from a usable GPU card, and even though decoding/encoding is still primarily a CPU-borne operation, freeing the CPU from these other tasks has a noticeable effect. (CPU decompresses the Bayer or 4:2:2 data and the GPU handles filling in the interpolated color samples, converts for the display color space, and scales the image to fit in the project panel at whatever size it is…)

what is the BEST card on the market that enables CUDA? (let’s say $ is not an issue)
-
You are correct; 4K isn’t an option in the free version of Go Pro Cineform Studio.

don’t know if this applies to your project but I’m wrapping up a 4k project with sony raw files and I’ve stumbled into a major bug in CC.
If you have secondary audio files and merge them with the original video clips and then start editing with these merged clips you will completely lose access to match frame.
This bug which I would consider quite major has been acknowledged by adobe and for some inexplicable reason has still not been addressed.
My project which was a 22 minute piece was built entirely without the aid of match frame and I can say that it was a royal pain in the ass to work without it.
