Experiencing audio out-of-sync issues after importing a .mov clip into Premiere Pro.
The .mov clip causing the problem does not have a problem when played with quicktime or vlc: The audio matches the video perfectly.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4) on OSX 10.9.1
Open Premiere, New Project ... > OK > Import the single video clip (whether by dragging into the app, or using the Media Browser). Start playing the clip in the Source monitor, scrub forward. Result: audio and video are way out of sync.
The .mov clip causing the problem was exported from Silverback app. http://silverbackapp.com/
Details about the .mov clip, via Media Inspector app:

The video imports perfectly into Final Cut Pro 10.1.1
I have Premiere Pro trial and Final Cut Pro trial. If there's no fix or easy work-around, I will have to ditch Premiere.
>Frame rate mode : Variable
No version of Premiere does "well" with Variable Frame Rate
Below is about iphone, but may help
Some people find that Iphone won't edit easily because it uses a variable frame rate

Thanks, John! Exporting the clip to Constant Frame Rate before importing the clip into Premiere Pro fixes the issue.
Fixed with HandBrake. Export using Constant Frame Rate set in Output Settings > Video, and Premiere Pro handles it fine.
