If you don’t mind dropping to 8 bit, just render to h.264 (just crank the bitrate). Since Adobe works natively with it, importing it back in, or dropping it in ME/Encore works like a charm.
If you want to stick to MOV, you can stay in h.264, or pick Animation, Photo-JPEG, or various other codecs. If you need 10-bit lossless, I’d suggest an AJA codec. DNxHD (Avid) works fine, too.

You have to load an AJA sequence preset, then load a clip and see if it plays (even in the source window). If not, then go to playback settings (under project menu) and select the correct video output (it usually defaults to SDI). Depending on the driver version (I’ve been using AJA boards with Premier since CS3), I’ve sometimes had to go into Machina to set things there first.

I assume ripple paste is what Premiere calls Paste Insert (under Edit menu, and it has a keyboard shortcut).

There’s something lingering in memory that is preventing Premiere from quitting properly (plugin perhaps?).
Just open the Task Manager and end the Premiere.exe process. You can then reload Premiere immediately. -
If it’s like my AJA Kona LHe, you’ll have to go into the playback settings, and force it to SD out (otherwise, it’s outputting HD, and trying to conform your SD footage to that in real-time). Playback settings are under the Project menu.

When it’s greyed out like that, Mercury Engine is working in software only mode (so, there’s no need to worry – it’s working). You’ll need an nVidia graphics card with at least 1GB of RAM to enable hardware acceleration (at which point, that pull-down menu becomes active).

Open the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Premiere Pro application folder, and make sure it’s listed in there. If not, just add it.

Not sure if someone mentioned it, but to delete an audio channel that’s linked to another (or video), just hold down ALT and select whatever you want to remove, and hit DELETE. You can do this with multiple channels as well (so, if you only need one of 4 audio channels, just hold down ALT, draw a box around the three channels you don’t want, or select them one at a time, then delete). Simple shortcut that few people seem to know about.
Note: I have no idea if ALT is remapped when you pick the FCP keyboard shortcuts,

Not sure how it works in OSX, but in Windows, you won’t see any output via SDI, unless you pick an AJA sequence preset (and then double-check everything in the playback settings, under project menu). If you’re monitoring analog, it defaults to composite only, until you go into the playback settings to change it to component.

I can confirm that importing FCP7 project files into Premiere is incredibly simple, and I move cross-platform. Rarely had an issue (usually a missing filter).
