RGB or 709 when you exported?

It also works with DNxHD in an MXF wrapper when exported out as OP1A (File menu/AMA export). It can also play back the file directly from the Avid MediaFiles folder, but does not yet associate picture with sound when they are in separate files.

I haven’t made the transition, but I do have the entire CC suite on my system. If you need any three applications in your workflow, the it makes sense to have the entire suite anyway. Most dedicated videos editors will most likely have Photoshop and After Effects needs anyway, so one more makes the monthly subscription for the entire suite a better deal. I have found myself using Illustrator, the full version of Adobe Acrobat (for notes and form making), and the other tools more often than I thought I would.
That being said, I have also kept an eye on Premiere as there is a lot to like about it and each release adds a lot of nice functionality all around. I have done short pieces with it, but as I work mainly in features, I have not made the transition as a lot of workflow day to day stuff is still easier to manage in Media Composer. But it is getting closer – the performance and size/quality of the monitors are very appealing to me for starters. They have almost all of MC’s trim, just a difference on how and when they are accessed which is the muscle memory part.
My two cents.

What are the requirements of the export? DMxHD, ProRes, H.264? Each have their own use depending on where the file is going next in the process. Also, which DNxhD codec rate are you using? 175? 115? Perhaps your computer and drive cannot keep up with the higher data rates?

It means that rather than dropping each of the individual clips onto the script for syncing, you just drop the group clip instead. So for a 4 camera multicam shot, instead of 4 clips needing to be synced and managed, there is only the one group clip. Once dropped on the script, proceed as you normally would.

In all versions previous to 8.x, it was recommended to uninstall first. There were a few times I did not, and it seemed fine, gut for the extra 5 minutes it takes, why not?

You can also look into the different options for AAF export. In addition to “Link to”, you can also a
copy” and other operations to a targeted folder on any drive. But in all cases, as Shane says, it is “Avid managed which means it works one way which may or not fit the way you want to work.Michael

Why don’t you leave it as one clip and use keyframes at different points where you want to speed up, slow down, ramp, etc?

v 8.3 allows for DPX export via AMA export. Relink back to camera originals and export. Or conform in DaVinci Resolve and export DPX from there.
