If footage was recorded as QuickTime ProRes (as opposed to MXF), the .mov files are not displayed in the CONTENT folder of the P2 structure: you have to open CONTENT/AVCLIP/ to display them.
Some formats recorded by ARRI cameras in a QuickTime container use the Clean Aperture resolution instead of the native resolution of the file. The files are recorded at a resolution larger than the active image section, and you must make sure to use the right resolution for finishing. The option is located in MediaHub>Formats Specific Options>QuickTime>Image>Clean Aperture.
