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.
It applies to the following QuickTime resolutions:
| QuickTime Resolution | ARRI Format |

| 3200 x 1782 | ARRI 3.2K 16:9 ProRes (Use Clean Aperture to get 3164 x 1778) |
| 3200 x 1824 | ARRI 3.2K 16:9 ProRes (Use Clean Aperture to get 3200 x 1800) |
| 3456 x 2202 | ARRI 3.4K Open Gate ProRes (Use Clean Aperture to get 3424 x 2202) |
| 4480 x 1856 | ARRI 4.5K Scope 2.39 ProRes (Use Clean Aperture to get 4448 x 1856) |

Although available for all types of files, the Level field is intended for directory structures output by film scanners. A typical image file directory structure looks like this: ./<tape>/<resolution>/clip.######. In this case, selecting Levels Up 2 in the Level field identifies the directory that corresponds to the tape name (./<tape>). Enabled if Tape Name is set to Tape From Directory.

Per Recommendation BT. 2020, UHD media should use the Rec. 2020 colour space. But this is rarely the case at the moment: UHD clips use Rec. 709. The Rec. 2020 option is there is case you come upon a correctly encoded UHD clip.
QuickTime ProRes is legal range and requires that you disable Include YUV Headroom.
Content from cameras is usually shot at video levels. In this case, disable Include YUV Headroom. Some cameras can record at full range and require you enable Include YUV Headroom. Refer to the manufacturers documentation for details.
Finally, you should enable Include YUV Headroom when importing from grading systems content that has not been legalized. On the other hand masters or final grade media are usually legal range.
