Not Sure Why ProRes Requires Render

Just fired up FCP 7 after a very long hiatus and am encountering an issue where ProRes footage I drop onto the timeline creates a red render bar. I'll include a screenshot of my Browser columns for the clip and sequence, but something is not matching.



Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
Frame Size: 1920 x1080
Vid Rate: 23.98 fps
Pixel Aspect: Square
Field Dominance: None

My system is a brand new laptop which I assume should be able to handle ProRes footage without rendering.

My system specs:
Early 2015 MacBook Pro Retina 13"
2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
16GB RAM
Intel Iris Graphics 6100


Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

gotta say, it's almost impossible to read that image,
it's too small !
any chance of a bigger version?

i'd say check the clip's Alpha channel, although it looks (when i squint) to be correct : None / Ignore

check to see if the clip has any offline components.
i've had clips which *think* they connect to two instances of the same file,
one of which offline.
reconnecting (manually) fixed the issue

Any effects applied to the clips after you put it in the timeline?
