Log & Transfer P2 footage
Why does footage transfered in with log & Transfer show up as DVCPro HD and not Apple ProRes?
Thanks,

Because footage from Panasonic P2 cards is DVCProHD and there is no real time conversion to ProRes 422 during Log and Transfer.
Final Cut Pro 6.0.5, Mac OS-X 10.5.5, Quicktime 7.5.5, Adobe Prod Prem CS4, G5 Quad 2.5, Kona-LHe V6, 8.5GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7800-GT 256MB, G-RAID 2x1TB FW800, 6TB RAID-5 (Enhance E8-ML, Highpoint 2322), Panasonic HVX-200P P2. Also MBP 17″ Core 2 Duo 2.5, 4GB, GeForce 8600M GT 512MB.

What he said. Only AVCIntra and AVCHD convert to ProRes. If you shot DVCPRO HD via the HVX-200, HPX-170, 500, 2000…then it imports as DVCPRO HD.

Yes it comes across as DVCProHD but it has to be rewrapped as a quicktime first. Basically, the audio and video are extracted and saved as a .mov. Also the metadata gets stripped. Adobe provide native playback of an MXF (or AVCHD) file without rewrapping or transcoding. For DVCProHD, the camera metadata is automatically mapped where appropriate to the XMP schema.
