You can also try software called Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac which gives full support for Apple ProRes 422, ProRes HQ, ProRes 444. At least It works fine for me. : )
Hope it helps!
Thanks brother! This saved me a LOT of headaches. I thought I didn't record my clips correctly but H264 was the culprit. Awesome tutorial. Mark
