I posted this in the Panasonic AVCHD area but wasn't getting anywhere... probably because I should have posted it here first!

On capture, I use 'log and transfer' and encode to ProRes422. I'm shooting in 24p. My data rates for my clips vary anywhere from 13.7 to 17.

Is this normal or anything I should be concerned about?

Perfectly normal. Those data rates are inline for ProRes422 145 Mbps rate. If you do the conversion 145 Mbps is 18MBps for 30fps video (less for 24fps video).

Thank you so much Rick! I've been trying to get an answer to this for a few weeks.

Thanks again!
