I'm new to GH2. Tried it out for the first time today. Good image apart some minor aliasing. Great for a camera of this price.

Imported the footage to FCP 7 and converted it to ProRes 422. I believe that GH2 has a 420 color space, but for grading it's probably best converting the original files to 444 but I can't seem to find that option in the Log & Transfer window.

Can anyone share a light on how to do it?

Thanks
 
Prores 4444 may be overkill for files that originate in 4:2:0, especially since the 4444 version provides for an alpha channel, which you do not need. 4444 is usually reserved for composited material or material ending up on film.
Prores 422 HQ is what is recommended for 4:2:0 originated material. Much smaller file size than 4444, and most likely no perceivable difference in quality since the original material is 8-bit 4:2:0 compressed footage.
