    I just installed FCP 5.1 to work on my PRORES footage and dont see the PRORES HQ codec listed anywhere in the sequence settings. Is this some separate thing i have to download?

    Believe it or not FCP6 is not required for prores to work. I had a project a few months back that was a QT prores deliverable but at the last min needed an edit on fcp 5.1. If on the FCP 6 mac, you go into “System/library/Components” and copy ProRes422.component to the 5.1 mac you can then open the prores footage in QT, convert it to say uncompressed, or animation codec, and edit away.
