Karl’s old article https://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2011/08/a-prores-workflow-end-to-end.html felt kind of vague enough in my understanding that it was re-rendering the previews rather than smart rendering.
Good to know, although I’m going the DNxHD route because I work cross-platform.

The GPU will not assist R3D processing beyond the normal GPU accelerated effects and processes available to all footage in Premiere.
Without a Red Rocket card, an expensive specialty piece of hardware that offloads the debayering/decompression of RED footage from your CPU, then you’ll be limited to 1/4 or 1/8 quality in your source and program monitor. You’ll also have a little delay in processing when you pause, as pause quality will probably be set to 1/1.
It’s certainly workable but with student films, I worry about the accuracy of focus pulls which are hard to judge at anything less than 1/2 quality.
Another concern I have is the amount of RAM, I feel like 6gb would be the minimum for a project like this but maybe someone can chime in otherwise.
There is also the concern of final render. To render at full quality, whether it’s a 4K master or a 1080p preview, is that on a quadcore system similar to yours RED footage converts at around 20:1. For every minute of RED footage it takes 20 minutes to render at full debayer quality. You’ll have to be rendering at lower qualities to get a sensible speed.
I would rather convert footage to something more manageable before editing and then use other tools available to you, like Resolve Full or Speedgrade to online the 4K master if you actually need a 4K master. You could, in Redcine-x, export to Quicktime/Prores or Quicktime/DNxHD as your intermediate at 1/2 debayer quality. You put the majority of your processing time up front and any review renders for the director, etc, should be far more manageable.

Yes, you can import AIFF. My assumption is that it will get pre-conformed as a WAV file in the media cache like almost all other audio will anyways.

Use a compressor effect (listed as part of the “dynamics” effect in Premiere). A compressor compresses the dynamic range of audio so it’ll squash the volume of the loud parts. This is used in conjunction with make up gain (raising the volume) so the volume seems more consistent.
You may need to noise reduce because you’re also raising the noise floor.
There are a ton of tutorials on the process on Youtube.
You may still need to ride vocal levels a little and you may need some heavier duty repair for clipping and other issues like noise.

I would shoot 24fps as a base and then only shoot 60fps (overcranking the camera) when needed.
Why? Well 24p isn’t an easy conversion from 60p (60i you can use pull down) which means there will be some frame blending. This increases the time in post for the majority of the program which won’t be interpreted as slow motion. The quality of motion blur and movement will also be drastically altered.

In Premiere? No. If you’re on Windows you can install Debug Mode Frame server. This will allow you to export a “dummy” avi file that you can then encode in a more flexible program like FFMPEG. This “dummy” file is the bridge between Premiere and another encoder.
If you’re on Mac, just export uncompressed and then use the Mac version of FFMPEG.
MPEG Streamclip may be the friendlier alternative to FFMPEG

Three point editing allows you to place a clip in the timeline of a known length.
If you mark the in and out in your timeline and just the in point of your source clip (thus three points chosen) then when the clip is inserted it will be as long as the endpoint in your timeline.

https://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2011/08/a-prores-workflow-end-to-end.html should show you how an end-to-end ProRes workflow works. ProRes is not included with Premiere so if you expand to more bays just know that you have to have some Apple Pro App installed (Motion, Compressor, etc) for it to install ProRes.
As to if it saves time, that’s debatable. I would think in the advertising world you will render quite a few client revisions and previews. I would benchmark your renders to see if the amount of time transcoding takes in the front saves you more time in the back if you have to render a dozen client review versions.
Also, with your system specs in your post, I would lean more towards ProRes.

It’s for a technique more familiar with those who cut on Avid and Lightworks called three point editing. Useful for making cuts in an environment where you have a fixed program length.
If you get into using it, assign a shortcut to “clear in/out”

I could have sworn the iPhone had stereo speakers, but there may be some phase cancellation in the air. The speakers are close enough for it to be an issue.
