GH3 and FCPX
I’ve read that the Panasonic GH3 “will record MP4, MOV, AVCHD or AVCHD Progressive, with a maximum bandwidth of 72 Mbps (ALL-Intra) / 50 Mbps (IPB). The formats can be recorded using frame rates of 24, 30 and 60p (excluding MOV and AVCHD)”
My typical workflow has been shooting in 30P HDV and converting to MOV with Clipwrap, then letting FCPX convert MOV to prores (or letting clipwrap do the conversion from HDV to prores) For the GH3, what is the recommended format when recording 30p? Is there any workflow with the GH3 and FCPX (short of recording to an external recorder in prores format) that does not require conversion to prores?

You should be able to use any of the GH3 formats in FCPX without transcoding to ProRes. The AVCHD will be rewrapped to MOV. That’s how I do it with GH2 footage.
